- Cultural Practitioner
Leeton has a background in youth work, community services and cultural education. He has been working with various mentors to continue and preserve traditional knowledge from tool making with stone, timber and other natural materials, foods and medicine knowledge and the reintroduction of the right fire on Country by practical application. Leeton is also a volunteer firefighter with the Rural Fire Service and has committed to make cultural land management and Indigenous fire management his life’s work. Leeton’s main passion, aside from preserving and practicing the old ways of doing, is to see the restoration of landscape identity through the many adaptive practices to maintain diversity and cultural values through an Indigenous lens.
