'concerned Australians':

In support of Bess Nungarrayi Price

"Alice Springs News" issue 1813.28/4/2011

Sir, This is an open letter to those who think they know us better than we do ourselves.
We are Warlpiri people from the communities of Yuendumu, Wirliyajarrayi, Lajamanu and Nyirrpi
as well as the town camps of Alice Springs.
Bess Nungarrayi Price is with us today
to say goodbye to one of our lost children.
We are sorry and in mourning.
Bess Nungarrayi is one of us.
She was born here at Yuendumu and grew up here.
We are all family to her.
It makes us sad and angry when we hear that
