Traditional Knowledge Workshops Hi my name is Veronica (Ronnie) Jordan I’m a Kalkadoon woman from Mt Isa, I have been teaching and working with my culture for a number of years. I am a proficient trainer specialising in traditional Indigenous games, traditional painting techniques, traditional coil basket weaving incl. animal and doll making and I share my expertise on bush tucker plants. I have taught Indigenous culture to a wide range of people from children to the elderly, Indigenous and non-‐Indigenous. This includes teaching traditional games at various schools across NSW during NAIDOC week and also at an Aboriginal women’s conference in 2012. In my role as a cultural ranger I taught other Aboriginal women traditional weaving techniques which assisted them to reclaim this knowledge and reinvigorate our culture. Traditional Weaving Workshops
I am a qualified professional weaver currently delivering coil weaving workshops to government, community groups and schools and festivals.
By teaching the cultural techniques of coil weaving it ensures the skill of weaving continues for generations to come. A hands on experience empowering participants with a sense of connection, as it was designed to do hundreds of years ago.
