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, a gift making the way for you. Okay. Because everyone on the non-Aboriginal side has gifts. And on the Yolŋu side, there’s gifts. See, it’s like that.

And that’s beautiful. I say, “Welcome, come, come, from anywhere.” From there, from across the seas. From far away, come 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, this is good.
