Dr Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann

Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann is a Ngan'giwumirri Elder from Nauiyu in the Daly River region of the Northern Territory, born there in 1950. In 1975 she became the first fully qualified Aboriginal teacher in the Northern Territory, and she later served as principal of the school in her community. In 1988 she began sharing dadirri, a practice of inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness from the languages of the Daly River region, with the wider Australian public. She is also a painter whose work brings together Aboriginal and Christian imagery, and she founded the Miriam Rose Foundation, which supports young Aboriginal people through culture and dadirri. She was named Senior Australian of the Year in 2021.
