Miimi and Buwaarr: A Gumbaynggirr Mother’s Love

An ode to the profound bond between mother and baby, intertwined with ancestral connections to family and land.

Being your miimi (mother) is the most precious gift life can give.

When you were born you opened my heart as wide as the ocean.

Journey with Miimi (Mother) as she lovingly shares stories with her Buwaarr (baby), weaving tales of the environment, the beauty of language, and the significance of totems. This heartwarming narrative passes on the wisdom of Gumbaynggirr culture, echoing a mother’s deepest hopes and dreams for her child’s future.

From Gumbaynggirr artist Melissa Greenwood, the creator of Miimi Marraal, Mother Earth and My Little Barlaagany (Sunshine), comes another lyrical masterpiece.

Includes Gumbaynggirr translation.
