The people of present-day South Sudan have been at war for more than 50 years. This has created a militarized culture of cyclical violence. In this thesis I examine a personal narrative told by Nyok John Achuoth Gor-a South Sudanese Australian refugee-that describes his reconciliation across tribal divisions with another refugee, Peter Kaka. Using folklore narrative theory, I analyze Nyok's story exploring how it reveals his own formation as a peacebuilder through reconciled relationships, and in turn, how he uses his story as a tool for peacebuilding within his Australian and South Sudanese communities. In the face of South Sudan's continued failed peace agreements and protracted violence, Nyok's story challenges the collective cultural narrative of inevitable retaliation and demonstrates that developing an informal network of reconciled peacebuilders helps reverse cycles of conflict, proactively develops adaptive platforms for peace actions, and influences formal political and tribal institutions toward peace.
