Jeff: When they come to Kulila it’s all about culture.
Kevina: It’s just a sense of belonging, you know?
Jim: I think you need to know where you come from
to know where you’re going
and be proud of who you are.
Laurie: Education is the key.
I wouldn’t be where I am now if I didn’t
follow through with education.
So if they can start of in a good environment like a kindy
break down those invisible barriers before they get there
they’ll succeed.
If that pride and who you are is instilled in them
at an early age
it holds them in good stead.

We want Indigenous educators to
show our children the pathway and guide them in culture
bring culture back
because we lost it
and we really need to get that back.
Kevina: So just being involved as an Aboriginal person
with our people, mainly our younger ones
it strengthens them.
Laurie: You walk in here it’s like home.
It’s like a yarning circle all the time here.
It's bringing mob together.
[Singing] These little footprints
follow in the footprints
‘til these little footprints
become the footprint
of the future.
