Extract

My name is Leonard Andy and I’m a Djiru Traditional Owner of the Mission Beach area.

Where I live today and where my Ancestors have lived is not the same place. Today the Mission Beach area has become a tourism destination and it has changed the people, our culture. Presently, there are twelve Traditional Owners living in the area, off these twelve, five are still at school.
