Bakir and Bi is a Torres Strait Islander creation story about a family living on a remote island in the Torres Strait called Egur. The villagers soon experience the hardship of a famine that struck the illustrious island of Egur. While fishing on the beach, Bakir (rock) comes across a special pelican (Bakir's totem). Bakir named the pelican Bi (light), as it brought hope and reassurance of a good future.

Bakir and Bi reminds us that with courage, passion, and the ability to remain true to ourselves, we can weather the storms that threaten to blow us off our course in life. This story weave together the vibrant threads of culture, language and beliefs.
