This Ancestors Learning Sophistication Dress by Koori Threads story shows the many challenges mob have every day when trying to fit into a Western system in 2023, and how the different ways of learning can be challenging to understand, when our learnings come from our ancestors!

And our Western system still relies on mob fitting into a box. 

This story shows us the ways of our people, when we cast our nets for a feed, we throw out one net to feed all of the family, but when governments cast their nets, they still cast many nets.

The men, they wait, and they wonder why the fish do not jump in the correct net, and in confusion, the salmon are now in the net with the black fish, and the flathead are mixed with the turtle now!

And it is this very same approach, that fails our mob today, still expecting us to identify with many nets, separating our feed, separating who eats, or how much they eat!

And for me, as my ancestors guide me to use my voice, they tell me, bub, remember now, one eat, we all eat!

This is my learning.

The Red - Represents all of our ancestors that guide us every day & whom we learn from

The Black - Represents all of our mob before assimilation.

The Yellow - Represents all the yarning we do as we learn from our ancestors.
