David said
“As a cultural facilitator and proud Ewamian / Western Yalanji man, I see this conference as a chance to bring people together in meaningful conversation — across cultures, disciplines, and landscapes.
“First Nations knowledge systems have cared for Country for countless generations, and when we bring that wisdom into dialogue with science and community practice, we create stronger, more connected pathways forward.”
“I’m honoured to help guide this journey as your MC and to welcome you to Gimuy country.”
