'When I speak Pitjantjatjara, I am able to get across strong messages, from my spirit. In our own language, we speak with confidence, absolutely speaking from the spirit.

I think to myself in meetings, 'I want to speak in Pitjantjatjara - because it is likely that if I speak in English my message will be weak'.' (Abstract)
