The ochre is country. The circles below country is all the knowledge.
The footsteps show people coming for a meeting, men and women,
Aboriginal (brown feet) and visiting researchers (white feet). They are
all sharing their stories. The yellow dots in the circle are stories that can
be given out (public) stories. The grey dots in the circle are the secret
or private stories.
The ochre dots are stories or knowledge that can be talked about to
help people understand, but they can’t be taken away. They talk and
agree about what good the research can do. They come to be friends.
Everybody is happy and they walk off together.
