To all of you who want to come to my land to learn, I say, “welcome, come to my land.” From here in Australia and from overseas. Here, the didjeridu is a gift for all of you, like a gift making the way for others. Okay. Because everyone on the non-Aboriginal side has gifts. And on the Yol\u side, there's gifts. See, it's like that. And that's beautiful, I say, "Welcome, come, come, from wherever." From there, from across the seas. From far away, come on and sit here. Yes, all of you come. Everyone has gifts, all around. It doesn't matter that non-Aboriginals have different languages. Because we are all one. One. If we work this way, not wasting, we will make a new path. And non-Aboriginals will join with us. Yes, good. |
