"My name is Otila Leone. I am a proud Butchulla/ Garawa/ Tongan/ South Sea woman. My Aunty Jan taught me to make my first grass skirt out of raffia. This skirt represents Murri Side, the red and plain plaited raffia rep my Tongan Culture. The artwork on the centrepiece represents all of my family gatherings together".
