Judy Atkinson speaks to the living intelligence of land. She reminds us that Country holds memory,not only wisdom, but also trauma. The land remembers what happened upon it, what was taken, what endured, and what continues to wait for acknowledgment.
Judy shares that when Indigenous peoples reclaim their stories, when they speak the truths held in Country and restore relationship to place, healing begins to move again. The land, she teaches, is not passive. It carries the imprints of history and the pathways for repair. To listen to land is to listen to ancestors; to reclaim story is to restore balance.
In a world shaped by displacement and erasure, her words land with quiet force: healing is not abstract. It is geographic. It is relational. It is activated when people return to Country and take responsibility for the stories that live there.
Judy’s voice carries decades of scholarship, ceremony, and care, guiding us toward a truth long known in Indigenous cultures: when land and story are reunited, healing is restored.
