AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When I speak Pitjantjatjara, I am able to get across strong messages, from my spirit. In our own language, we speak with confidence, absolutely speaking from the spirit. Like sometimes we attend meetings and we speak entirely in Pitjantjatjara, forthrightly. I think to myself in meetings, 'I want to speak in Pitjantjatjara - because it is likely that if I speak in English my message will be weak'.' (Abstract)
