Episode Synopsis


Our guide to Yirrkala is Siena Stubbs who grew up between the two worlds of her mother’s Yolngu culture and her father’s Balander or white world.  Siena explains how every person, creature or place belongs to one of two balancing moieties - Yirritja or Dhuwa.  She also explores the town’s history of missionaries and Yolngu resistance, along with her own connection to family and country.
