Sistas Yarnin
The experiences and complexity of Aboriginal women's lives means they're never short of a yarn to tell. "Telling stories is our way" says Frances Rigney, one of the 16 Aboriginal women who shared a yarn with Arts Producer Cath Kenneally. The stories offer a window into the women's lives and the people who've influenced them. A big thank you goes to all the women who participated
