Two senior Yindjibarndi women have told the Federal Court about their connection to country at a hearing to decide how much compensation Fortescue Metals Group must pay for mining on their land.
Giving evidence in the town of Roebourne, in Western Australia's Pilbara, Yindjibarndi elder Tootsie Daniel said she was fortunate to learn culture from her old people when she was young.
Ms Daniel said her elders taught her about finding bush foods and medicines.
