Profoundly moving and inspiring project! ✨

Very misleading title. I was hoping to find a brief history of indigenous cosmology. This was no such thing.

So glad I came across this channel!♀️✊🏽💖

Women all over the world need to TAKE BACK BIRTH!

A wonderful and informative video about how absolutely VITAL birthing on country, with First Nations Midwives, Grandmothers, Aunties, really is. I hope it gets more views soon

❤

Every woman deserves a Djäkamirr! This doco was so powerful and deserves all the accolades possible. These women deserve all the accolades possible! Imagine birthing in a completely foreign environment with no support from anyone you know or can understand, how terrifying, that's what these women have to do! I had the privilege of seeing this today and feel so strongly about this cause! These women need our support! Please watch, share, write to political parties etc.

My kids grandmother …. My poison one ❤️❤️❤️

this is rad - thank you for sharing!

Ahh my dream career!!

Goood job:). Easy video ranking > 'Promosm' !!!

I am living Darwin finished anthropology from Jahangir Nagar University savar Dhaka any chance to do something di in that field.

Great process documentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :)

Great service to work and dedicate for forefathers.

Fantastic and such a feast for the eyes and ears. I try to imagine how much more the ceremonies mean to those grounded in the symbolism. By recording these interactions, you give a gift of the greatest value to future generations! Thank you!

I was hoping to learn more about aboriginal cosmology. If you search the cosmology of other ethnic groups you get more of a documentary than a personal story.

This is EXACTLY what I want to do!! How does one go about becoming a medical anthropologist without a degree in anthropology or medicine??

A beautiful, respectful and logical collaboration of cultures. I so hope this project continues to grow and inspire more like it. Thankyou all involved for creating this project/research/programme/film for sharing.

I held a screening of this amazing film on Tuesday night, having seen it a couple of months ago. Everyone needs to see this . It is beautiful rare example of acknowledging the wisdom and skills of traditional birth keepers, and the benefit of respectful sharing of this knowledge for all women and health care workers involved in birth. Actually all of us, especially all health care workers involved in providing care can learn so much from this documentary.

Interesting

An incredibly moving and necessary documentary, I felt very privileged to be able to see it (especially with Sarah in attendance!). Thank you to Ḻäwurrpa, Sarah and the whole team for the amazing work you do. This film needs to be shared far and wide!

If you don't use the peroxide bath, will the print still turn to dark indigo blue after 24 hours?

Last night I attended a screening in Perth with fellow likeminded midwives/future midwives. I was so moved, tearing up in far too many spots. Your research is moving. It has moved mountains and it surpasses barriers that those before never even tried. I cannot wait for the continuation of two knowledge trusts to come together and become one ❤💛🖤

Thank you for this film, I saw it a few weeks about in the Blue Mountains and was very moved. Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention in an imformative yet entertaining way. Amazing work.

This video is Awesome thank you for sharing this video👍

Fascinating!!! I'm a cultural anthropologist and a registered nurse in Italy. But here it's so behind they don't know the potentials of anthropology especially in helping communities. So sad... But your video made me happy!!! And hopeful! Thank you

Felt very privileged to watch this documentary. Hope it gets the funding needed to have the remote birthing clinic established!

An amazing insight into how our remote communities don’t have access to basic human rights. Thank you for your work, for your passion and for highlighting this situation.

How much paroxismo did you put in the other basin?

Saw this film at an event hosted by the Lowitja Institute and University of Melbourne. Such a brilliant way to share the outcomes of research. Really interested to see how Government responds. As stated in the film birthing on Country is a human right.

This film is exceptional. Thank you for weaving us a story so rich in knowledge, respect and hope. It is time to bring birth back to country where it belongs! Congratulations to the whole community, especially elders for speaking the truth loudly so we can hear and a huge Congratulations to all the new djakamirr on their graduation!! Birthing women will be so much safer with you by their side. Much love, respect and all my support xo

What a documentary! Never have I seen research presented in such an engaging, respectful and beautiful way that really spoke to my heart. Thank you.

This film so touched my heart.As Midwives we need to support this.Good luck I hope so much that birthing on Country moves from a dream to a reality,soon.

I saw this with my pregnant sister and six year old daughter. A must for people to see for the context it brings, the awareness it builds, the catalyst it gives to improves the lives of our First Nations people. Who wouldn't want to be born on Country? It is a vision I fully want to see happen.

This is such a powerful and important film! Please take the time to watch this beautiful film, it is deeply moving and important, I truly hope this is the start of the change we so desperately need <3

As I watched this beautiful witness to collaborative practice , I couldn't believe First Nation people in lands now called Australia, don't have the option of birthing on country. This lack of services, is shameful for a country as privileged as ours. As I watched this beautiful documentary, I was struck by how working together, with both ways of knowing works: my hope is that birthing on country with midwifery caretakers can become a reality across all communities. Locally run and in doing so providing empowerment! Just gotta clean out the ears of our politicians :)

I admire and commend the work Sarah, Ḻäwurrpa and the rest of the team are doing. State and Federal Governments should give this program more support.

I pray this film initiates change across our country, thank you

Watched this film yesterday afternoon in my local town hall in Nhulunbuy. It was a great insightful film, thankyou to all involved with this sharing journey, I have shared this on my FB page, donated, written to my local parliament. Im using my "loud voice" to share far and wide. thank you again

What an excellent documentary sharing the aspirations of First Nations women to reclaim birthing culture and the wonderful work done through this collaborative project in Galiwin’ku. Such important work that I hope will lead to positive changes across Australia.

Saw this film last night & highly recommend to anyone thinking about going! Very eye-opening. Would love to see change in the future ❤

Thank you Ḻäwurrpa for sharing your sacred birthing practices and working so hard to bring djäkamirr to your communities - my ears are cleaned out!!

I am thrilled by this movie..I cry and my blood tingles with joy at the prospect of women birthing on country with support from Djakamirr

This film has impacted me as a birth worker, mother and daughter. I want to see real change for these communities and in the system that is not supporting birthing on country.

Thank you Läwurrpa. I am listening with my heart. I have donated money and written to my local federal MP and to Greg Hunt Minister for Health. Your people have given birth for 60,000 years - you know how to do it!

So wonderful to see such a meaningful collaboration with ancient wisdom and culture being honoured and integrated into mainstream care. If only all indigenous women could have the right to birth on country and when not possible could access meaningful continuity and support in birth, developing strong foundations for future generations of women, babies and their families.

Way! Marrkapmirri walala, nhokala ŋarra djäl djämawu Birth Centreŋura Galiwin'kuŋura...I want to work as a midwife at the new Birth Center at Galiwin'ku!! So well done!!

what an amazing film. as a midwifery student with a growing passion in all things birth and advocacy related, this hit home. will definitely recommend to friends and colleagues!

Hello, Thank you for such a complete and easy to follow video. I see you use clothing for your work. Do you place the item directly on the treated paper? If so, does it stain the cloth? THanks, Nina
