How can we preserve the memories of 'our family our home our story'?

We can preserve it through education. Teach it in schools, from primary to high school and in universities. Make sure students learn about the important events, people, and values that are part of it.

We can start by being honest. Just tell our stories as they are. Share the good and bad of 'our life' openly. When it comes to 'our home', we can show pictures or talk about the special things there. And for 'this is us', introduce the people involved. Simple and straightforward sharing is often the most effective.

You can start by having regular conversations with them and recording those. Ask them about their childhood, experiences, and memories.

One way is to collect old photos and create a photo album along with captions telling their stories. Another option is to write down their memories and experiences as they share them with you.

Sure. For example, every Christmas in our family, we gather at our home. We decorate the tree together, and that's part of our story. It's a time when the whole family unites, sharing laughter and love. We cook traditional meals and exchange small, meaningful gifts. These simple traditions make our family bond stronger and are the essence of our story.

One way is through oral storytelling. Passing down the stories from one generation to another by word of mouth. Another way is writing them down, like in memoirs or family histories.

We can start by gathering old family photos. They are a great visual aid and can trigger memories. Then, we can sit down as a family and take turns sharing the stories behind those photos or memories we have of different family members. Another way is to create a family tree together and as we add each member, share their story.

For me, it's a powerful statement. 'This is us' is a declaration of a particular group's essence. 'Our life' could be seen as the tapestry of events that have shaped us. 'Our home' might be the place that holds our most precious memories and relationships. 'Our story' is the unique plotline that only we can tell, full of personal details, dreams, and how we overcame difficulties.

Another way is through cultural events and festivals. Organize events that specifically focus on First Peoples' stories. These can include storytelling sessions, art exhibitions featuring their art forms related to their stories, and music performances of their traditional music that often accompanies their tales. By making these events accessible to the public, more people can engage with and appreciate their stories.

Becoming a family could have been a gradual process. It might have involved accepting each other's flaws and celebrating strengths. Maybe it was built on shared values and a commitment to being there for one another no matter what.
