Our ethos

Yindyamarra Winhanganha: To live with respect in a world worth living in.

Yindyamarra is a Wiradjuri word, preserved and handed down to us by Uncle Stan Grant Senior. Stan Grant senior has dedicated his life to Yindyamarra. He has kept alive the Wiradjuri language.

Yindyamarra. A way of being. To live with respect. To walk softly. To sit in the silence. To seek to understand, not to be understood.

In the spirit of his father and of his people, Stan Grant, Professor of Indigenous Belonging and Yindyamarra Founding Director, leads us in bringing Yindyamarra to bear on the challenges of our age.

Through research, events, podcasts, and wider contributions to public debates, we will explore new ways of reforming democracy, achieving justice for First Nations peoples, and speaking back to our nation’s deeper spiritual crises.
