I believe that music is a form of drawing people together and Aboriginal people have always operated by spirit. Once you sing, you feel so good afterwards.—Roger Knox [1]

Song is as important as language, it is a part of our culture and well-being, it is another form of healing for Aboriginal people.—Roger Knox [1]
