- What we ate kept us healthy.
- Then one day as a child, I saw camels and I ran in fear and I saw white people and I was so shocked with how light they were and there were aboriginal men.
- The whites had the aboriginal man interact with us and the white man asked if we were okay.
- We were fearful but they told it it was okay, they sat with us, gave us food.
- They offered meats in tin can our people took it but hid it behind them and buried it.
- White man asks what happened to the food and found out they buried it.
- White man says "no don't do that it's good food, try it!"
