Quotes

We don't own the land, the land owns us. The land is my mother, my mother is the land. Land is the starting point to where it all began. It's like picking up a piece of dirt and saying this is where I started and this is where I'll go. The land is our food, our culture, our spirit and identity.—S. Knight

I found this quote from Creative Spirits website, this explains the intricate relationship between Indigenous people and their lands. How down to earth they are by containing/belief in such notion; and the fact that they actually continue to nurturing their surroundings is extraordinary.

Aboriginal spirituality is the belief that all objects are living and share the same soul or spirit that Aboriginals share.—Eddie Kneebone, Aboriginal Reconciliation campaigner and painter

The belief in spirituality is similar to Buddhism belief, the quote suggests that Indigenous people also believe in reincarnation.
