AustLit

'My name’s Daniel Forrester. I’m in my mid 60s now. I was born in the mid-1940s, just at the end of the Second World War. I was born in the Todd River of Alice Springs. My totem in the Aboriginal way is the Yipirinya dreaming is the Caterpillar Dreaming. My father was eastern Arrernte and my mother was a Luritja woman. I still got a gift for the languages, which I’m very grateful of, there are a lot of other people who lost it that were in very similar situation to mine.'
