This is my mother's country (Texas Downs Station). Going back on Country. It's like going back 40,000 to 80,000 years ago, looking at the mountains, hills, rivers and gorges. Our great ancestors survived - hunted and also slept on this rugged country of the Kija people. They had a better life. Healthy, sharing foods, ceremony and culture. Today, living at Warmun, our younger ones are losing their lives because of drugs and alcohol. Back 40-80,000 years ago, our young ones grew up. Adults. Going back to Kija Country gives us strength, makes us very strong.
