Thanks to the small, yet mighty ABC team, who worked tirelessly to share the festival with the nation. Huge thank you to Stephanie Boltje - who has the hardest job at Garma, wrangling me!

On top of the hours of live coverage and broadcasting for ABC it was an absolute joy to facilitate conversations with representatives from the Lakota and Navajo nations, and join a panel with my friends and old friends from NITV.

Thank you to all the Yolngu custodians, Denise Bowden, YYF, & Jason Frenkel for having us on Country. Thanks to Kelly Williams, Professor Jackie Huggins, and Bridget Brennan for grounding our coverage at the ABC.

What followed was an extraordinary meeting, on her birthday, April 20. The cultural advisor had the last official audience with the Pope, before his death.

And in a twist, at Pope Francis’ funeral, Theresa would meet and chat with the man who would be named Pope, just days later.

Nope, traditional brooch from Bhutan 🇧🇹 🙂

I’m still so grateful for everyone who shared their stories, experiences, and perspectives with me - especially those which were really hard to remember.

For me, this summit has an important connection to the past. I was a youth delegate to the 2007 United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, in New York. It gave me a powerful grounding in this important global forum and the issues raised here.

I’m really thrilled to be hosting and moderating the conversation - details of how to connect below.

Thanks to ABC Managing Director David Anderson for backing and making this trip happen.
