— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 115-120)
'The older people feel that the young people lack a work ethic, and tend to blame some of this on the young people. They also lament the lack of jobs available for young aboriginal people, while they see so many jobs within their communities performed by non-Aborigines. They are concerned about the transmission of culture and language, and use their community school to promote these'.
