Alhalker country is ours, so is the atnwelarr yam. I paint my plant, the one I am named after, those seeds I am named after. Kam is its name. Kam. I am named after the atnwelarr plant. I am Kam now. The pencil yam grows in our country - it belongs to us - the atnwelarr yam. They are found growing in the creek banks. That's what I painted. I keep on painting the place that belongs to me."
