Loss of Traditional Knowledge and Language

The speaker discusses the profound impact of the Stolen Generations on the loss of traditional knowledge and language within their family. With successive generations being disconnected, direct transmission of cultural teachings was disrupted, leading to the erosion of over 60,000 years of wisdom. Due to this loss, the speaker expresses the urgency to seek out elders from the Bundelung community to reclaim some form of ancestral knowledge, highlighting the ongoing trauma and challenges faced in reconnecting with their roots.
