First Nations stories from Sydney

Yellamundie means “storyteller” in Dharug, and this collection brings together accounts from 30 First Nations people in Sydney. Their contributions address the effects of colonisation, including its continuing impact, alongside reflections on a culture that remains strong. The book frames truth-telling as a way to acknowledge the past and consider reconciliation, with stories presented in the contributors’ own words. Michelle McGrath, who works in Aboriginal education, compiled the collection with young Australians in mind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults learning about First Nations experiences and histories in Sydney.
  • Readers interested in Indigenous voices, truth-telling and reconciliation in Australia.

Book overview

In the Dharug language, yellamundie means 'storyteller'.

This collection of stories from 30 of Sydney's Indigenous people will bring all Australians closer to the truth about the impact that colonisation has had on our First Nations people and how that impact continues today.

Truth Telling is an incredibly important part of our nation's healing. The aim is not to lay blame but rather to acknowledge what has

happened so we can move forward together to a reconciled Australia.

Michelle McGrath is an Irish-Australian who works in Aboriginal education. For a long time she has wanted young Australians to learn the truth about our past, so that they may understand our First Nations people and the pain they still feel today.

This book is for all Australians, and while many of the stories contain sad elements, they are reflections of a beautiful culture that is still strong today, told in the words of the contributors, the co-authors.

It is their truth.
