Eulogy for a giant
It’s often said that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Yunupingu was a giant who made sure we could.
He lifted us up and held us there so that we could see as far as he did.
And what a vision he shared with us.
A vision underpinned by an unbending belief in the need for Aboriginal people to hold their future in their own hands.
A vision so grounded in all that was just and fair and right that, ultimately, it elevated us all.
