The West Australian Indigenous Storybook
In Aboriginal Australian culture, storytelling makes up a large part of everyday life. For thousands of years Aboriginal knowledge, heritage and laws have been passed on through stories and songs. The West Australian (WA) Indigenous Storybook goes some way to retaining and disseminating some of these stories, which can now be read in our books as opposed to the more traditional stories that were once only spoken.
The Public Health Advocacy Institute of WA (PHAIWA) has now produced nine WA Indigenous Storybooks, the most recent focusing on the Pilbara region of WA.
