Mayatili Marika is a Yolŋu woman of the Rirratjiŋu clan. She is the University of Melbourne’s Cultural Advisor and Partnerships Officer based in Northeast Arnhem Land and Chair of Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation, which develops and implements culturally and environmentally appropriate resource management strategies around Nhulunbuy. She is an enthusiastic advocate for Yolŋu education.
In this episode, we discuss the achievements and legacy of the world’s first Yolŋu university Professor, who sadly passed away in September 2023. His family have given permission for the continuing use of his full name for professional purposes. His name was Brian Gumbula and he was a Professorial Fellow in the Indigenous Knowledge Institute at the University of Melbourne.
Mayatili is a fluent speaker of both English and Yolŋu-matha, so we link you to the Charles Darwin University’s excellent Yolŋu-matha Dictionary here: https://yolngudictionary.cdu.edu.au.
