“They teach me everything” - Indigenous elders transforming the next generation

This year NAIDOC week celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders. Many people - Indigenous and non-Indigenous - have a special relationship with the elders in their life. For a 30-year-old Arrernte Warramungu artist, forming a connection with his elders has been transformational. He lives with an intellectual disability caused by foetal alcohol syndrome, and told SBS how his life has changed for the better since two very special uncles took him under their wing.
