Mia could hear the squarks of her Jarriny before she saw them. Her eye's had flicked to the sky in search of the passing dirrarn but soon realized the noise was from the bird just beyond the gate.
When we originally encountered Mia in Black Cockatoo, she was figuring out how to fit in with her family, her culture, and her country. Dirrarn follows Mia as she adjusts to life at boarding school and deals with the difficulties of being hundreds of kilometres away from her loved ones and her home in the great sky country. Mia and Naya, her closest friend, work through the challenges of making new acquaintances, adopting various perspectives, and adjusting to a new environment. Mia soon has to learn to stand in her truth when faced with insurmountable obstacles as she struggles with everything that is foreign to her.
The black cockatoo, or dirrarn, is Mia's totemic bird. It gives her the courage and independence to keep in touch with her surroundings even when she is far from home. She uses this totem as a resource. The delicate tale of Dirrarn explores the significance of location, individuality, and the honour of speaking the truth.
