This video podcast is a yarn between two families who are augmenting their own cultural paths, largely independent of government and business. A yarn between our family and Gadigal elder Uncle Charles Davison and Wiradjuri woman Jen Ridley's. Jen and Charles are Aboriginal leaders living on the Central Coast of NSW, bringing back to country some of what was taken from them. In this film they share both their pragmatic and philosophical wisdoms – as parents, grandparents, family educators and as speakers of Aboriginal knowing. We hope you enjoy The View From the Shore, and you feel inclined to share it widely with friends and loved ones. It's an important story, one which aims to open up discussions, or continue them, and bring about much needed kitchen table conversations.
