Abstract

Indigenous art Indigenous science Indigenous technology Information Technology 3D Printing Jewellery
When the effects of climate change threatened the sacred practice of an Indigenous community in Tasmania, one member began a long and creative journey to preserve it. Dr Alana Gall recounts how Dr Andrew Gall worked for five years to keep kanalaritja — both the act of shell-stringing and the jewellery created from it — alive for future generations of Pakana.
