Patrick is a Traditional Owner from the Ngarluma and Yinjibarndi Language Groups. He spent his childhood years living and working in the Pilbara. During this time to the present day he learns from his Parents, Elders and extended families the knowledge needed for everyday life such as how and when to find certain foods, dreamtime storytelling, explaining spirituality, heritage and the laws and customs of aboriginal people which are very important as they inform the younger generation about creation, ancestral beings and places, boundaries of tribal lands which then ensures these stories are passed down for future generations and still continue to this day.
