Raymond understands the importance of telling the stories the same way he was told by his grandparents. The facts need to be known. The knowledge Raymond continually gains, is passed on to him through Aboriginal ceremony. This is still an important part of his life. Each year ceremonies are held on traditional grounds and land. Aboriginal Law is a very important component of Raymond’s identity as an Aboriginal man and gives him his place in his cultural land. He learnt at an early age to respect his elders and appreciate all that he has.

“Respecting my elders, common human decency and appreciating all the things I have in my life such as my family and health, I believe is the true essence of who I really am. (Raymond Walters Japanangka, 2007)
