Kanyini is an Australian Indigenous word. Kanyini is the principle of connectedness through caring and responsibility that underpins Aboriginal life. Kanyini is a connectedness to tjukurrpa (knowledge of creation or 'Dreaming', spirituality), ngura (place, land), walytja (kinship) and kurunpa (spirit or soul). Kanyini is nurtured through caring and practicing responsibility for all things.

Kanyini is also a 2006 documentary film which explores the philosophy and the life of Bob Randall, an elder of the Yankunytjatjara people and a member of the Stolen Generations.^[1]
