The Edge of Sacred project was conducted with the Nauiyu community in northern Australia and investigated trauma and traditional healing practices. Study participants from the community identified negative social changes and an escalation in anti-social behaviour, such as higher rates of bullying, violence, risky sexual behaviour and children accessing pornography, when mobile phones and social networking sites were used inappropriately. The research utilised Dadirri, a place-based, performative healing praxis that engaged community members in a truth-telling journey. Shared stories revealed social impacts derived from accessing mobile technologies and the ensuing cultural colonisation affected all aspects of Nauiyu community life. We present the findings of mobile phone use behaviours in this remote context and the performance of negative, traumatised and harmful identities that occupy social media and are enabled through social networking sites. Despite the corrosive effects of colonisation, the community unanimously believed that empowerment through truth-telling exists within and belongs to Nauiyu. The traditional holistic healing practice of Dadirri reframes identities, reclaiming Indigenous Lore.

神圣边缘项目是与澳大利亚北部的 Nauiyu 社区一起进行的，并调查了创伤和传统治疗方法。来自社区的研究参与者发现，当手机和社交网站被不当使用时，负面的社会变化和反社会行为的升级，例如欺凌、暴力、危险性行为和儿童访问色情内容的发生率更高。该研究利用了 Dadirri，一种基于地点的表演性治疗实践，让社区成员参与到讲真话的旅程中。分享的故事揭示了访问移动技术产生的社会影响以及随之而来的文化殖民影响了 Nauiyu 社区生活的方方面面。我们展示了在这种远程环境中手机使用行为的发现以及负面的表现，占据社交媒体并通过社交网站启用的受创伤和有害身份。尽管殖民带来了腐蚀作用，但社区一致认为通过讲真话赋予权力存在于 Nauiyu 内部并属于 Nauiyu。Dadirri 的传统整体治疗实践重新定义了身份，恢复了土著知识。
