Professor Anne Poelina

CHAMPIONING RIVER RELATIONSHIPS & CONNECTIONS

Anne Poelina, a Nyikina Warrwa Indigenous woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, is the founder and chairperson of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council.

As a passionate River Warrior and a guardian of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River, Anne is a resolute advocate for the river’s recognition as a living ancestral being. Her profound connection to the Martuwarra drives her to educate, advocate, and amplify the voices of rivers globally. Her work spans diverse fields, from academia to filmmaking, and policy development to community engagement. With decades of dedication to Indigenous, human, and environmental advocacy, Anne’s commitment is reflected in her research, academic achievements, and active roles in advisory committees. She serves as the Co-Chair of Indigenous Studies and a Senior Research Fellow at the Nulungu Institute, University of Notre Dame Australia. Anne’s legacy is a testament to her unwavering devotion to rivers, Indigenous heritage, and the interconnected well-being of lands and waters across the world.
