8 Interviewee story summaries These experiences have meant that Leah is particularly concerned about ensuring that native title meetings are safe, ‘brave’ spaces where the hard conversations can happen, problems are workshopped over time, and disagreements are managed. Leah felt that if native title governance structures and spaces remain unsafe forums for honest discussions, the cycle of disharmony will continue and seep into other facets of life too. A practical suggestion that Leah had is to commence each meeting with a pictorial timeline and brief presentation summarising the history of the claim in question. This would give community members a base level of knowledge regarding key milestones, decision-makers, and decisions made in the process to date, which would enable more equivalent participation by alleviating some of the misunderstandings, the ‘yarn carrying’ between meetings and speculation associated with not knowing when, how, and by whom decisions had been made in the past.
