"To keep a culture, you've got to give it away.

So that's why it's important. You can have them all in the classroom and its just normal reading. The characters, or the setting or the language just happens to be Indigenous. "

"I think the future's bright. I do believe in the youth.

Old people like me, well, we've got to move out of the way and let young people take over. I think it starts with education at a young age and that's why I'm very excited about the Yarning Strong series."
