About the episode

First Nations stories are rich and diverse, and the world is hungry for them. But when stores are told about, and not with First Nations people, misrepresentation and stereotyping often occur. In this episode we yarn with Noongar Elder Dot West OAM, a leading advocate for the inclusion of First Nations voices in the media. Dot is also a scriptwriter, SBS board member and poet.
