Interview 1: Rayshan Mills-Prior, recently initiated Bindal Clan Elder
Interview 2: Australian Defence Force Warrant Officer Class Two Kevin Batiste, 10th Force Support Battalion indigenous liaison officer
Rayshan Mills-Prior, a recently initiated Bindal Clan Elder, and Australian Defence Force Warrant Officer Class Two Kevin Batiste, 10th Force Support Battalion indigenous liaison officer, discuss their experience at the traditional Welcome to Country smoking ceremony July 19 at Lavarack Barracks, Townsville, located in Queensland, Australia, during Exercise Talisman Sabre 21. Australian and U.S. Forces combine biennially for Talisman Sabre, a month-long multi-domain exercise that strengthens allied and partner capabilities to respond to the full range of Indo-Pacific security concerns. The ceremony reflected the traditional act of requesting permission to enter another group’s country, and once granted, being welcomed and granted safe passage with the protection of their ancestors during the journey.
