Gary Taylor, I come from Kellerberrin in Western Australia and 
my people are the Nyoongar people. In my culture I can live in 
both cultures - I can live in the Western culture which means 
that I can go and live in a home where I can flick the lights on OK,
I can live in a culture where I can turn the gas on.
And at the same time I can live in a culture where I can go and
get the kangaroo, cook the kangaroo, make the damper and eat it
the way that my mum, my dad actually taught me how to
hunt and gather at the same time. I can also go to KFC and
I know how to go and speak to people to get what I want. I know
what to order at the right time. In my culture I know the seasons,
where I can collect the berries, I know when I can actually go
and get the kangaroo, I know when the honey tree is ready to
go and get the honey when you are walking through the bush.
All those things have been taught to me by my people.
For me to prove, I believe, if I'm living in a traditional culture,
all I need to do is go back and collect the food and
gather the food and present the food whenever it is requested.
