I hold close the words of Big Bill Neidjie, the last speaker of the now-extinct Gaagudju language and a respected elder of Kakadu, Northern Territory. In his book Kakadu Man, he shares:

(1983) “Our story is the land ... it is written in those sacred places. My children will look after those places, that's the law. Dreaming place ... you can't change it, no matter who you are. No matter you rich man. No matter you King. You can't change it.”

Still deeply relevant today, these words ground my work. A powerful reminder that our connection to Country, to story, and to Dreaming continues on. It cannot be broken.
