Community-driven empowerment through mabu liyan
Closing the data and knowledge gap
This project built on the Yawuru Wellbeing Project to contribute towards narrowing the knowledge and data gap. Grounded in Mabu Liyan (good spirit), Yawuru’s conception of wellbeing, it also aimed to demonstrate how community control and involvement in nation-building, art, and sports can lead to improvements in wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in the Kimberley region of WA.
