“It’s a lot of work, non-stop. You know people may think we’re just sitting down and happily doing our work but no. We’re on top of it. If you leave the country un-burnt for 10 years someone will come and throw matches and that’s it.

“We want our children to learn both ways. To learn out traditional knowledge and culture, plus we want them to learn about a western kind of education as well.

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
