"The speech by the Indigenous Australian man was a truly engaging experience. His captivating style kept me focused and entertained throughout. He shared key indigenous words and terms, allowing me to expand my understanding of his culture. It was a reminder of the importance of embracing their culture and learning from different perspectives. I really enjoyed this."

"What I liked about his visit is how he interacted with us. He was really friendly & nice to us, while also being quite funny as well. He made his own visit fun & memorable, & I can still remember some words from his language today. He was a welcoming person & I had a nice conversation with him after his whole presentation. Overall, nice dude 10/10."

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

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!

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.
