Personal Statement :
Aboriginal Culture and practices are not lost, they are instilled within us. Rebirthing this within ourself, our families and communities should be a priority and is essential for our Mother Earth and for generations to come.
Being a Wayapa Wuurrk practitioner has lead me on a journey of educating people of the importance of regenerative practices through aligning our lives in harmony with Mother Nature and how embracing the knowledge and wisdom of our First Nations people will play an important role in ensuring we create a sustainable future for generations to come.
