We are aboriginal women - Yankunytjatjara, Antikirinya and Kokatha. We know the country.

The poison the government is talking about will poison the land. We say, "NO radioactive dump in our ngura - in our country". It's strictly poison - we don't want it.

We are born on the earth, not in the hospital. We were born in the sand. Mother never put us in the water and washed us when we were born straight out. They dried us with the sand. Then they put us - newborn baby - fireside, no blankets; they put us in the warm sand. And after that, when the cord comes off, they put us through the smoke. We really know the land. From a baby we grow up on the land.
