Cover Text

The spirit of our ancestors watches over us as we celebrate our culture. When I paint my Tjukurpa (law, culture and creation stories), when I sing the songs of my Contry, I feel the spirit of the ancestors watching me. The women leaders of the Lands who went before us sing alongside the women of today. We feel their presence as they watch over us and our Country. Nyunmiti Burton
