By: Community Arts Network
  • Summary

  • In this podcast series we explore the lives and experiences of Noongar Elders living in Boorloo (Perth). Hosted by Noongar performer and story teller, Phil Walleystack, their stories reveal powerful and at times heartbreaking accounts of what it was like growing up Aboriginal in Australia, treated like outsiders and second class citizens on their own land. Listen to our Elders as they share another layer of history – one that has always been there, just kept in the shadows. Ni! means listen was produced by Community Arts Network in partnership with the City of Perth and with support from the ABC.

  • Aunty Muriel Bowie
    May 24 2022

    Unlike a lot of Noongars living under the Native Welfare act, Aunty Muriel had a carefree childhood. She grew up on the outskirts of York with her parents and brothers and sisters. Her mum and dad kept safe from the police and welfare, by living in the bush, under the radar. It was only later in life, Aunty Muriel would realise just how lucky she was to have that childhood. This is her story.

    So what's their secret to such a long, successful marriage? And how did losing a finger, get them a house? We'll find out all about that and much, much more in this lively conversation with Mr and Mrs McNamara!
