Indigenous Ghost Stories
Indigenous people have lived in this country for thousands of years and have formed a deep spiritual relationship with the land which is generational. Some of these spiritual bonds include communicating with spirits on the other side. From the Wau-wai in the south to the Dujay in the north, whether we like it or not these spirits are a part of this land and apart of all our lives. Hosted by NITV’s Luke Briscoe, Indigenous Ghost Stories reveals frightening and compelling encounters with spirits on the other side.

Pretty For An Aboriginal

Little Yarns
Australia is full of diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations. From the Bunuba to the Wiradjuri, the clans of the Torres Strait to the palawa people, every mob has its own language and unique culture. Each episode will take you on a journey to a different Nation; to listen to the sounds of Country, share some language and have a little yarn. We’ll travel south across the Bass Strait to lutruwita (Tasmania) and learn about the mums of palawa Country. Look out for crocs in Wadjigany waters, while we find out about the seasons in Batjamalh language. And keep your eyes peeled for an eight-legged creepy crawly, as we hear how Yawuru language has changed over time. There are hundreds of First languages to listen to and learn from!
