X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>"Nothing About Us Without Us" is a slogan 
 used to communicate the idea that no policy should be decided by any repre
 sentative without the full and direct participation of members of the grou
 p affected by that policy.</p>\n<p>In this session chaired by Sue Lawson\,
  First Nations Elders and published writers Aunty Fay Muir and Aunty Edith
  Wright will discuss how First Nations people and culture are represented 
 in publishing. The panel\, including local Wadawurrung Traditional Owner C
 orrina Eccles\, will discuss First Nations representation today and in the
  past\, the importance of truth telling and how to handle the complex issu
 e of own stories in literature.</p>\n<p><img src="https://events.grlc.vic.
