"When the old people burn the land, its time for new growth for the land. So the smoke we can see from a long way, this tells us a lot of things. Today we use smoke to welcome people into our land and country, even people from all over the world come to witness these smoking ceremonies. They are very lucky indeed." Kevin Lawrence
