On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Connor McKay, NRL Cowboys House General Manager of Fundraising and Partnerships, talking about Young Artists’ Stories Take Central Stage In Cowboys Auction. The stories, culture and creativity of NRL Cowboys House students are taking centre stage through the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys’ 2026 Indigenous Round auction, with supporters invited to bid on match-worn Indigenous jerseys and one-of-a-kind hand-painted boots. The auction showcases the work of NRL Cowboys House student Pryce Mara, whose striking artwork “Ngaw Gidha”(My Story) inspired this year’s Indigenous Round jersey, alongside the incredible talent of current students who individually designed and hand-painted boots to be worn by Cowboys NRL and NRLW players during Indigenous Round. The Cowboys Indigenous Jersey & Boots Auction is open now, with NRLW Cowboys Indigenous jerseys coming online for bids next week for their Rd 6 clash with the Bulldogs. Bid now via the link below!

The Ghosts of Lani Mulgrave Blair, a major exhibition at NorthSite Contemporary Arts, is part of a year-long program that invites audiences to walk alongside Yidinji leaders and community members as they reclaim their histories through storytelling, language revitalisation, and the living presence of cultural objects and traditions. The Ghosts of Lani Mulgrave Blair traces the life and afterlife of Lani Mulgrave Blair (1883–1900), a Yidinji boy who was taken from the Mulgrave River during a period of violent frontier massacres and then trafficked to Melbourne, where he was raised within colonial society by Dr and Mrs Blair. Lani’s return to Gimuy/Cairns is both symbolic and real: a powerful act of cultural restoration. You can find out more via the link below!
