Shaun Tucker's Journey: Writing a Book on First Nations Culture

Shaun Tucker joins us to share his incredible journey working on an educational book with author Paul Huntress (Walrus). The book tells the story of a young indigenous person disconnected from their culture—a narrative that mirrors Shaun's own life experience.Key highlights:

• The book is designed for Australian school curriculum, targeting education and reconciliation
• Features Kabi Kabi language and culture from the Sunshine Coast
• Includes QR codes for deeper learning and interactive content
• Currently in acquisition stages with publishers

Shaun's story is one of discovery, reconnection, and healing. After years of not knowing his roots, he's now connected with his Kabi Kabi family and is actively involved in cultural camps and community initiatives.

First Nations Terminology: Aboriginal, Indigenous, or First Nations?

One of the most thought-provoking discussions in this episode centres around terminology. Geltchy asks the question many Australians have wondered:

What's the difference between Aboriginal, Indigenous, and First Nations?

Shaun breaks it down:

• Aboriginal comes from Latin, meaning "not original"
• Indigenous refers to native people from anywhere
• First Nations is a term adopted from America and Canada, recognising the original peoples of the land

It's a conversation that highlights the importance of education, respect, and understanding in modern Australia.

Art as Therapy: Healing Through Creativity

Shaun opens up about how Aboriginal art became his lifeline during difficult times. After neck surgery and two years of recovery, he discovered painting with ochre at cultural camps. The creative process became therapeutic, helping him work through pain, trauma, and identity.Shaun's artistic journey:

• Painting with ochre at First Nations culture camps
• Ceramics and working with clay
• Encouragement from community and family
• His daughter, Bella Bancroft, is also making waves in the art scene

For Shaun, art isn't just about creating—it's about storytelling, healing, and connection.
