Wiyi Yani U Thangani—meaning women's voices in Bunuba language—sets out to capture and respond to the strengths, aspirations and challenges of First Nations women and girls. We acknowledge our First Nations matriarchs—our first mothers of this land—and pay our respects to them and our elders who watch over us, our Countries, waters and skies.
