NGURNDUK/WIND - Self-Determination & Decolonisation

Short-Course 2c – Modules 7-10 – The Wind in Victorian Indigenous Culture: Voice of Country and Messenger of Change.

For the First Peoples of Victoria, wind was a living presence — a voice of Country, an ancestral messenger, and a guide to movement, ceremony, and weather. The wind’s direction, strength, and rhythm reveals what the land, water, and sky are saying.

Wind holds both practical and spiritual meaning: it carries sound and scent across Country, signals seasonal change, and speaks through the trees as a living language of the ancestors (Clarke, 1997; Norris & Hamacher, 2011). (Wind — Magic Lands Alliance) Ngurnduk means wind in the language of the Gunditjmara Peoples of south-western Victoria.

This short-course builds on the foundational knowledge in Ngaatchi/Earth and unlearning knowledge in Wiiyn/Fire, and takes the learner onto the winds of change and workplace solutions.

You can only enrol in Ngurnduk/Wind (Short-Course 2c) if you have already completed Ngaachi/Earth (Short-Course 2a) and Wiiyn/Fire (Short-Course 2b).
