Abstract:

This chapter highlights the unique features of First Nations storytelling and argues for its use as a methodology to bring Indigenous voices from the margins to the centre of legal narratives. The author recognises the subversive power of stories that not only counter colonial narratives but also are a means for Indigenous people to assert ownership. The chapter charts the author’s development of a storytelling jurisprudence over her career, which has included collaborations with the loved ones of three Aboriginal children murdered in Bowraville and later, Aboriginal families whose children were in state care.
