00:00The concept of the Elders Program is about bringing those Elders out of isolation to allow them to come together,
00:06to represent their community, to represent the interests of their people, to express a sense of cultural revitalisation if you
00:15like. It's a fantastic event and we're just happy to be here with everybody.
00:30I think the thing that means the most to the community out here today is just that community spirit. Being
00:36together, learning from each other, having those yarns, just like I said that reconnecting not just with each other but
00:43with country and with culture and you know like I said they're the backbone of our communities so yeah it's
00:50really important for us to help look after the Elders.
