Patrick Puruntatameri
Patrick Puruntatameri and Richard Narwirr have both been in NORFORCE for approximately 20 years. They are proud of their work, and in this interview they talk about their experiences, the wide range of skills they have learned, the training they’ve undertaken, and the influence of extended family on their decisions to first join up. They both emphasise the positive experience of their NORFORCE work teaching traditional hunting and survival skills to other people, as well as the travel they undertake, and the great camaraderie, how everyone who wears the green uniform is like family, which they highlighted as one of the most positive aspects of being in NORFORCE.
