Uncle Lewis is a Keeper of the Ancient Songlines of the Whales. With this recording of the song of the White Whale we honour Uncle Lewiss indigenous lineage, the Ancestor Spirits and Uncle Lewiss innate understanding of the relationship between the water, the whales, the Earth and humanity. Uncle Lewis reminds us that all Earths creatures are our brothers and sisters. There is no separation of species in Uncle Lewis’s being. Uncle Lewis has a role in his traditions and culture. To be a bridge between the wisdom and way of his people with the global tribal community. In effect he has been chosen to share the essence of the aboriginal ‘creation song’ globally with the purpose of bringing unity once again to all tribes. Uncle Lewis’s tribal name is Spirit of the Night or Possum Spirit. Uncle Lewis’s people still live very close to the land in Jubullum Country by the Clarence river. With Poppy Harry Mundine Walkers Clan in Tabulam NSW. The Clans relationship with Mother Earth is very real and very deep.
