The Message Stick
This message stick shows a commitment to our protocols , values and ethical processes in facilitating the sharing of Aboriginal knowledge in schools and communities across the region. It provides visual guidelines for the way we work at the Bangamalanha Centre , which is the central site for our operations located in Dubbo.
The dark line through the centre shows the way we work with freshwater people and ways following the river that connects our people in Western New South Wales. The circles indicate knowledge grounded in sacred sites and our adherence to ancient protocols when we sit and meet with keepers of knowledge on country. The Pathways between them show the way all these sites , stories and knowledge are linked together by ancient pathways walked , sung and told by ancestors. The seven sections indicate the School Education Group we work with in the western region. The shaded areas at the top show respect for the diverse languages and knowledges that come from the land of traditional owners in our region.
