“My name is Bruce Martin. I have a full Aboriginal Mother and a white Father. They separated when I was young. People think that I should thank my dad for my education and my mum for my language and culture, but it’s the other way around……. Thank you mum for putting me on the plane to go back to school, no matter how hard it was. And thanks dad for always speaking Wik Mungkan to me at home in Canberra so I wouldn’t forget and for working so hard to pay for my flights to Cape York so I could see my family and take part in Ceremony, Thanks.”
