Description:
‘I believe history is for healing. But you need to tell the whole story, the good and the bad. Telling the truth to the younger ones, the next generation, will make them strong.’ — Mavis Kerinaiua
The Tiwi people have more than their fair share of stories that turn ideas of Australian history upside down.
The Tiwi claim the honour of defeating a global superpower.
When the world’s most powerful navy invaded and attempted to settle the Tiwi Islands in 1824, Tiwi warriors fought the British and won. The Tiwi remember the fight, and oral histories reveal their tactical brilliance.
Later, in 1911, Catholic priest Francis Xavier Gsell decided to ‘purchase’ Tiwi women and ‘free’ them from traditional marriage, so girls would grow up into devoted Catholics.
But Tiwi women had more power in marriage negotiations than missionaries realised. They worked out how to be both Tiwi and Catholic. And it was the missionaries who came around to Tiwi thinking.
Then there are stories of the Tiwi people’s ‘number one religion’: Aussie Rules; Calista Kantilla remembers her time growing up in the mission dormitory; and Teddy Portaminni explains the importance of Tiwi history and culture as something precious, owned by Tiwi and the source of Tiwi strength.
In Tiwi Story, Mavis Kerinaiua, Laura Rademaker and Tiwi historians showcase stories of resilience, creativity and survival.
‘Tiwi Story is a powerful collection of pieces written by Tiwi people about their experiences of colonisation. Their recounts are an important telling of past and present issues confronting Tiwi pe

Absorbent but sometimes no indicator.
So sometimes I get the diapers with the indicator stripe and sometimes I get the nice decorative Sesame Street kind that has no clear indicator. Either way no complaints. Haven't had a blowout yet on any size.
Tips on preventing blowouts:
1. Make sure you have the right size!
2. Make sure put the diaper on right. (Squirmy kid)
3. Make sure the diaper flares are out around the thighs.
4. Make sure you change the diaper often enough.
5. Too much desitin can make blowouts happen more often.

Just OK
Not too impressed. Thickness is good but I don't like the smell and the fibers/lints it leaves on my baby's skin. I like other brands better.

Great water flosser
Color: Pink+purple
Got it for my 10 year old with braces and it works great! She even takes it to sleepovers! It’s so portable and the travel safe design is great. It’s a very reasonable price as well. Would highly recommend

Works great.
Color: Blue+red
I love how easy this children’s dental floss is. My child with ASD is able to use with little to no help. it’s been years trying to get my child with sensory sensitivities to floss or brush teeth without a HUGE STRUGGLE, however this is very gentle and something that makes our oral health care routine smoother. ( if you know, you know!!) It is very similar to the viral “ usmile” adult version water flossers. My only complaint/issue with this is that it collapse pretty easily and sometimes it’s hard to keep in the locked position while flossing teeth. Overall a good product, and recommend.?
