Our data and knowledge are carved deeply into the rocks, caves, trees, rivers, waterholes, ceremonial grounds, night sky, artefacts, campsites, walking tracks, bushfoods, song lines, stories, dances, scared places and our very existence as Yamaji. Our archives extend beyond museums, libraries, churches and government records.
In the Western world archives are generally viewed as manmade objects such as libraries, museums, books, field notes, government records and so forth. These archives have been constructed for the Western world through Wester Patriarchy lens.
