Spend the day with the Tiwi Strong Women as they share their experiences of caring for each other and for their children and grandchildren, following generations of cultural practice passed on through song, dance, art and oral history. Across the day they will lead you through the process of weaving their pandanus baskets and explain how that connects them with the seasons, with the Tiwi ceremonies and with the songlines that connect Tiwi people with their country.
