We need help for our Yolngu friends in Arnhem Land. They do not speak English as a first language, so many of them live in fear, as they are forced to communicate with the medical service that cannot treat them in a culturally safe way. Many are left severely traumatised. We have answers, but is anybody listening? First step: please share as widely as you can.

When the mainstream system looks at how the health system is failin...

When I wrote the book Why Warriors Lie Down and Die twenty-five years ago, I realised there was a much deeper story to tell about the relationship between the original Australians and the others in the mainstream Australian community.

If you liked Why Warriors Lie Down and Die, you will like its addendum, titled “Warriors Once More”, “Where to From Here”, and “Getting the Basics Right and Closing the Gap Forever”, written by Richard and Timothy Trudgen. It will be published by the end of the year. But you need not wait that long; you can follow the excitement on Substack as we work hard to finish it. Richard Trudgen

Our WhyWarriors.co.au and Yolngu Learning Djambatjmarram.com websites are back online after being down for two weeks.
And the link in the Heart Attack video now works as well.

Heart Attack Dhawul Video Saving Lives

Because our website is down at the moment, I have loaded the Heart Attack video on YouTube.

Yolngu at the moment are suffering from the highest heart attack deaths in Australia.

This video is the only comprehensive resource for Yolngu people, in their language, to understand what a heart attack is and how to avoid dying from it.

The video was produced in-house for $23000.
It is sad that we cannot access the many dollars available to produce more videos to answer the Yolngu people's questions and close the massive information gap they live with every day.

Our Why Warriors and Yolngu Learning Djambatjmarram websites are currently down. This is due to a company called Digital Pacific being hacked. This took out over 3 million websites.

Our hosting provider in Melbourne wanted us to move our site to a more secure hosting service, but this would have cost us an additional $600 per quarter. We don't have the money for this, so we are waiting for the original hosting site to resolve its issue. We don't yet know how long this will take.

So we apologise for any inconvenience this might cause.
