Kanyini

Kanyini is an Australian Indigenous word. Kanyini is the principle of connectedness through caring and responsibility that underpins Aboriginal life. Kanyini is a connectedness to "tjukurrpa" (knowledge of creation or 'Dreaming', spirituality), "ngura" (place, land), "walytja" (kinship) and "kurunpa" (spirit or soul).
