Mentoring has been taking place in our communities for generations. It was carried out by our Elders, who shared invaluable knowledge, wisdom and insight. I’ve used the gathering circles to represent our many communities, with the white lines linking to reflect connections to place, people and community. The fists depict diversity, action, and strength of First Nations people past and present. It’s front and centre; just as it should be. Emphasising that it’s important to have our voices at the forefront addressing matters regarding the future of our communities” – Nakia Cadd, Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung and Bunitj woman Transforming Power: Voices for Generational Change 43
