'Jumoo' means 'smoking' in the Turrbal language. And, to open this year's Brisbane Festival, Yuggera and Turrbal man Shannon Ruska will lead a city-wide smoking ceremony on Friday, September 4 that everyone is invited to watch and participate in. Ruska, who is the managing director of Custodianship of Tribal Experiences, will lead Brisbanites into the three-week festival peacefully, and with respect to his ancestors and First Nations communities in Brisbane today.
