One of my most treasured relationshipsrelationships is with MurrundindiMurrundindi. He is the Ngurungaeta (Head Man) and Elder of the Wurundjeri tribe, the traditional custodians of the land in and around Melbourne, Australia. A calm, dignified man, Murrundindi has kind eyes and a gentle smile that puts everyone at ease. He is a great leader and teacher, and he has shared his culture in schools and at the Healesville Sanctuary for more than four decades. I met Murrundindi in 2021, and he has given me many gifts. During the past few years, I have spent about one day a month with him. We sit outside with groups of children near some red river gums in Berwick, and he tells stories. His storytelling consists of many components: humour, singing, music, and dance, and he models integrity and love. Murrundindi’s stories bring children together. The way I see it, Murrundindi is the best storyteller. After each morning of storytelling, we have an hour-long, two-course lunch together, and we talk about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of understanding psychology and traditional healing practices. Our conversations range from yidaki (didgeridoo) healing to smoking ceremonies to welcoming children and giving them a manna gum leaf (“a passport onto our Country”) to learning from Elders. After lunch, we return to the river red gums. I love my time with Murrundindi, and he has served as a great mentor to me. His teachings have changed my life. I have learned so much from Murrundindi about our need for meaningful human connections.
