My name is Eric Cook. I'm a Ngarrindjeri man from the Riverland region. 
When my father told me and took me up the river and showed me where
to fish, showed me how to get a good feed of cod, callop, all the fish - 
mussels when we used to go swimming for mussels. He showed me where 
those places are, my grandfather, my uncles took me out. Uncle Aimee 
was one of the best fishermen at Agira, we used to love going out with him
and he knew where to fish. Actually he died on the river
- just knowing that this is your country, you know where to go  
and get a good feed, you can go out and make boomerangs, spears, woomeras, 
waddies, and get all your equipment out there. And when he showed me 
where they got the flint for making rocks and all the different stones 
like up at Sugerloaf Hill and then down at Kingston on the Murray
- he showed me where the canoe trees were - I just started feeling,
hey this is my country you know, people did live here and my people
have been living here for thousands of years and now I'm still walking
on this land. And it just gave me the sense of 'I know who I am,
no one can tell me that I don't know who I am because
I'm a Ngarrindjeri man, and this is my region.'
