The board game, titled The Storyteller, was created by Geelong Wathaurong/Ngarrindjeri man Glenn Shea, who was a youth justice worker at the Wathaurong Aborginal Co-operative when the game was created.
The idea for The Storyteller evolved through Glenn's personal experience of working with Aboriginal adolescents and young people.

Storyteller gets on board to share the knowledge of his culture and heritage
"I have worked as a Support Facilitator when Glenn uses The Storyteller to train agencies on Aboriginal Cultural Competency, and sometimes I go with Sheenagh Mulroy to play it with Reconciliation Groups in Victoria.
Glenn trained us through playing the game each week for about 6 months before we went to support him in using it.
I am deeply moved at being part of the powerful experience of many people playing the game and having realisations about their own history and their work roles. I am also repeatedly reminded how little I know - that my upbringing was about learning to turn aside as a white person from our collective history. Learning now is enriching many areas of my life, including the opportunities for a truly sustainable life together."
