Uncle Colin Walker talks coming together to care for Country

"I think we're a pretty generous people. So why can't we get together, sit down and say 'let's pull together'. As one of our Elders said, 'I always say, we don't want to walk alone. We want to walk with you.' And I think that's a great saying and that's what we should be doing - walking together, not alone." Watch Senior Yorta Yorta Elder Uncle Colin Walker explain the importance of coming together to care for country and preserve sacred sites. Yoorrook is looking into the impact of colonisation on land, sky and waters.
