“Waabiny Time presents an opportunity to showcase the rich, diverse and ancient culture of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia”
To make our elders proud and to give the youth pride in our traditions and history make it all worthwhile. My people have the strength of our warrior grandfathers and grandmothers to carry on our culture even as the technology and landscape of our world changes”
