Message Sticks
These days, passing on a message is as simple as sending a DM or making a call, – however, this wasn’t the case for the First Nations’ Ancestors.
In their traditional culture, the Ancestors could communicate across the vastness of this Country, without a smartphone or modern technology. The message stick is of importance in First Nations’ cultures.
Phunktional has put a modern twist on passing on delivering messages for the purpose of the Beyond the Walls production. Click below to read some of the digital messages.
