A strong female influence in my life is Jan James. I identified with my mother as a strong, inspirational person to myself and many others, to be strong and acknowledge the real meaning in culture in my soul and spirit. Catherine
My mother was my hero, she looked after me, loved me, taught me hunting, tracking and culture. I love being a grandmother and teaching my grandkids what is good and what is bad. My favourite thing is story sharing, singing and dancing. Barbara

Our gorgeous beaches, that our archetecture incorporates nature into it, our love and respect for culture and a distinct way of life that is different from the rest of Australia. Noah
I am proud of our traditional ability to improvise and be creative with available resources, an attribute passed down from previous generations for whom WA's isolation ensured that making-do was a way of life. In our modern society, with its abundance of convenient throw-away products, this is a skill we need to cultivate and nurture if we are to protect this special place we call home. Wendy
