Oprah Winfrey is headed to an Australian rainforest for an upcoming special on her meeting with an Aboriginal tribe, which will draw national attention to their culture and spirituality. The Kuku Yalanji consider themselves true rainforest people who live in harmony with the environment. Their culture has always involved a deep respect for nature and an intimate knowledge of its cycles.

Oprah will head to a rainforest in Northern Australia to feature 16-year-old Tahlia Burchill, one of three Kuku Yalanji women interviewed by Oprah for a segment entitled Beauty Around the World. Apparently, the talk show queen is “blown away by her.”

Tahlia was recommended to Oprah’s company Harpo Productions for the segment by Terry Maloney, who with his wife Cathy runs Daintree EcoLodge and Spa, an award-winning eco lodge, which employs Kuku Yalanji people on its staff and incorporates indigenous knowledge into its spa treatments, art classes and interpretive walks.
