I'm going to resume learning how to weave baskets & I saw a post awhile back about a traditional Nawken basket weaver (Nawkenknowledge, I think?) & I wondered if this basket weaver has videos or tutorials I could use to learn how we made baskets 🧺 I even gathered my own willow

Really pleased to be in Perth today to join Nawkenknowledge + Davie Donaldson launching a film & campaign to recognise & safeguard #Nawken culture, including Cant, the precious language of Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Supported by Scottish Civic Trust

Today, I immersed myself in indigenous knowledge, reflecting on centuries of injustice Nawken have faced. It's been a reminder to honor and learn from our people's wisdom, acknowledging the need for reconciliation and justice.

Great event! We'll be there to talk about our most recent work and plans for the future! 🙂👇

Great to be invited to represent the work of our Nawkenknowledge project at this year's ACERT conference.

Our exhibition and speech spoke to cultural trauma of Nawken people. Alongside the power of words to build resilience and emancipation for the next generation ✊🏻

Great day meeting with Access Folk down The University of Sheffield! Discussing Gypsy/Travellers as 'not only reservoirs of knowledge but active participants in its creation' 📚

Powerful and necessary reading. I read Paul's post with a deep reflection on the colonisation of minds, not least in light of recent Nawkenknowledge work on my own Indigenous tongue - The Cant.

Weil wirth a swatch!
