Details

Publication TypeJournal articleAbstract‘Talking About Smoking in East Arnhem Land: Denormalisation, Stigmatisation and Leadership’ was a research project that began in 2014 in East Arnhem Land, amongst the Yol?u peoples. The study revealed a wealth of deeper meanings and beliefs about ?arali’ or tobacco within the context of Yol?u tradition, history and culture. In this reflective piece, the primary author describes a personal journey of learning through observations and discussions with Yol?u informants who shared their values, expectations and obligations associated with ?arali’, which over time, have become interwoven with Yol?u ceremony.AuthorTane, M.P.Harwood, M.Date2017Publication CollectionNorthern Institute - Learning Communities: International Journal of Learning in Social ContextsVolume22/ 2017Page Number48-68CopyrightThis work is licensed under CC BY-SASuggested CitationTane, M.P. & Harwood, M.
