In celebration of NAIDOC week, our two OzAlum guests, Dr Lily Yulianti Farid, a published author and activist, and Butet Manurung, an educator specialising in Indonesia’s Indigenous people and environmental activist, talk about a deeper meaning of sustainability from Indigenous wisdom. 

While Dr Lily’s research project unveils the first connection between Indonesia and Australia in the 1700s, Butet’s educational project explores ancestral heritage on relevant life skills and philosophical values we can learn from the Indigenous people in Indonesia. Give it a listen to our OzAlum Podcast and leave a rating and review.
