'I belong to the Kokoberrin people of the Cape York peninsula. As a young man, I was really lucky to have been taken under the wing of senior elders and shown my homeland through their eyes. As a result, I’ve been a Cape York advocate for many years and have fronted many campaigns including anti-mining ones, and more recently opposing new Wild Rivers legislation. My motivation lies in the connection my elders gave me to our homelands. Without the senior Kokoberrin people, I would not have any culture.'  (Introduction)
