Everyone deserves to know the history of this land. You should get Jaeden to come tell his stories.
- Heidi - Grade 3

Jaeden's storytelling was spectacular. Even though our school is on the land of the Boonwurrung, we didn't know very much about the stories of this land. Jaeden's family has been here for 4000 mothers. He helped us understand that all our stories are connected. We loved learning about the connection to the sky and the earth. We loved learning the words and moving our bodies. Jaeden's deep and clear voice was lovely to listen to and he taught us how to roll our tongues to make special sounds. The story of Bunjil and Waa was entertaining and made us think about how the world was created. We wish Jaeden could come every week!
- Grade 3, Elsternwick Primary School

I attended Jaeden’s presentation as part of a PD conference and he was captivating. His passion for educating others about country and culture was extremely enjoyable to be a part of. He shared creation stories, language and educated us in a manner that was inviting and highly entertaining. I am looking forward to learning more from Jaeden in the future and getting him in to present to our students.
- Laura Collins, Elwood Primary School

Children and Educators were inspired by Jaeden’s passion for sharing the rich and continuing culture of our nation’s first people. We felt privileged and grateful to be involved in A Welcome to Country with Jaeden. The children particularly loved the smoking ceremony and the creation story. They loved being able to recreate the story with Jaeden. They enjoyed being able to participate in a meaningful and hands-on way; through dancing, singing and drama. It was great to hear from some of our families that the children enjoyed sharing their new knowledge with their families. We look forward to continuing working with Jaeden to increase our knowledge of Boonwurrung language and culture. We are thankful to the traditional owners of the land and are committed to honouring Bunjil’s law; respecting and caring for the land and children.
- Kylie, North Brighton Kindergarten

Jaeden Williams visited our Centre recently and gave us the gift of culture. He is a fantastic storyteller and managed to hold the attention of very young children for almost an hour! By the end of his visit, we had a better understanding, appreciation and respect for the first people of the land where our Centre sits in the Melbourne CBD. Jaeden brought the history and culture of the Boonwurrung people to life. Our community has never been the same since!
