In this new episode of Rolling Through Negotiations, host Matthew Karakoulakis sits down with Cameron Morrall, a proud Wotjobaluk man and co-founder of Little Wombats, an early childhood education initiative dedicated to sharing the richness of First Nations culture with young learners.

Cameron shares how storytelling, music, dance, and art become powerful tools to engage children in Aboriginal culture, helping them build respect, understanding, and a sense of pride from a young age. He opens up about the challenges of keeping cultural integrity in educational spaces, the importance of receiving guidance from Elders, and how cultural principles naturally guide his leadership in classrooms and negotiations alike.

You’ll also hear touching stories of connection with children, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal who are discovering their identity, embracing culture, and learning life skills through Little Wombats’ hands-on programs. Cameron reflects on what it means to nurture the next generation, his hopes for weaving culture into everyday learning, and why moving forward together with respect is so important for all Australians.
