Ep25 Christine Luck

Aboriginal culture is centered around respect for the land and its elders, who are viewed as knowledge keepers and cultural authorities. In this episode, Aboriginal woman Christine Luck shares insights into the role of elders in the community and how they are important to family functioning. We explore questions around what makes an Aboriginal an elder, how they are viewed by youth today, and how they impart wisdom through modern technology. We also discuss the importance of spirituality in coping with challenges and passing down cultural values, traditions, and responsibilities. Ultimately, we can learn from Aboriginal culture about the value of respecting and connecting with our elders and communities.

It seems we have a lot to learn from Aboriginal culture, and to help us make a start, today we’re joined by iChristine Luck. Christine is an Aboriginal woman with ancestral ties to Bundaberg, St George and Prussia.
