There are so many stories that talk about peace and war. What do you think war is all about? And how do we find peace? This episode is all about finding peace in times of imaginary war.
In the Peace & War episode of Yarn Quest we hear stories from Raiden, Pania, Adelaide and Tane. They tell us their imaginary yarns about war and how they have found ways for their characters to find peace. Adelaide even shares with us what she learnt about the saying “the pen is mightier than the sword!” Then we hear from podcaster, historian and activist Boe Spearim, he shares with us what he’s learnt making his grown ups podcast called Frontier War Stories, and why is super important to learn the truth about the continent we all live on.
Thank you to Yarnies Raiden, Pania, Adelaide and Tane for their help with this episode.

At Awesome Black we don’t like to talk about the deficit that First Nations people have gone through, we don’t like to talk about the history of government failures and the effects they have had on our communities. We recognise that they have happened, but we want to talk about what we can do right now to get things moving forward for us, by us.
At Awesome Black we are attempting to create a system where wealth stays in our communities and we can build up Blakenomics, supporting each other’s businesses and community. At every point when we buy something we think… can we buy this from a First Nations person, if the answer is yes we do it, if the answer is no… we ask more questions. Why not? And how do we make sure that we can in the future?
Awesome Black acknowledges the traditional owners across the lands on which we live and work.
Awesome Black is about First Nations, first in everything we do. A community of skilled creators are ready to collaborate. If you have an idea for a project get in touch.
