This is about the old mission … at Old Site … old people in their days. How they used to live a good clean life. They go out … do their ceremonies … you know, when they’re sober. Before days … when they have ceremonies … they do it without the grog. Not like today life … everybody, they have to be …have to have grog with them to get things going. But before days … people … they just went out on their own … they lived a good life, before days … they could just do everything … have ceremonies … sing … dance … just go hunting without the grog. At nightime … they didn’t have TV. They would take their kids … you know, if it’s a good moonlight … take their kids down to the beach … yarn stories … draw in sand. If young people were doing things in the daytime … then old people see them, say ‘Oh yeh’ … at nightime they making song for that person. Mmn … not like today … always grog.
