Thank you to Amanda, Benjamin, Benjamin jnr(9), Jarrad (8), Michael (7). For allowing us to use their photographs, their voices and recounting their personal experiences. When we visted the family they were minding their baby niece, Alysha and according to the kinship they consider her their daughter.
According to the Aboriginal kinship system Benjamin considers himself a Ngarrindjeri as his mother considered herself a Ngarridjeri however his father was part Irish. Amanda considers herself an Adnyamathanha as her Mother considered herself an Anyamathanha however her father was Narrindjeri. The children consider themselves Adnyamathanha as Amanda considers her self Adnyamathanha. All the children speak both Ngarrindjeri and Adnyamathanha and they are learning Greek at school. The family totem is "Coongari" which is the Black Swan.

"Aboriginal people don't own the land, the land owns us and we treat it with respect because the land is our mother"
