Cultural warning: EmPauR would like to advise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners that the following podcast may mention names of people who have gone before us into the stars and the dreaming.

In these two episodes, we look at the unique customs in the Eastern and Western Torres Strait Island regions. We'll have interesting conversations with Torres Strait Islanders to help you understand the traditions, rituals, and social rules that shape interactions in each of these community segments.

EmpauR acknowledges the Gimuy-walubrra yiddi (Gimuy walaburra indinji) people whose traditional lands this podcast has been recorded on.

We pay our respects to the ongoing cultural connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to hold with the land, sea and wind.

Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.

The music is a Traditional Torres Strait Islander song and was played by a proud Torres Strait Islander man and well-loved family member, who is unfortunately no longer with us.
