Her traditional Yindjibarndi Country is inland from Roebourne. After finishing school in Onslow, she moved to Roebourne, where she met her late husband, Ngarluma man David Daniel. Together, they raised a large family and were deeply involved in community life.<br \/>Tootsie was a dedicated and outspoken advocate for her people. She actively worked on initiatives that brought positive change to Roebourne, using media and public forums to raise awareness of cultural and social issues. Known as a trailblazer \u2013 and the Queen of Roebourne! - she was always clear about what was needed and how others could contribute.<\/p>\n<p>Her media work included roles in documentaries and short films, including a humorous community parody video about COVID-19 set to the tune of \u201cMy Sharona.\u201d She participated in multiple AAA conferences over the last 15 years, including a memorable co-presentation in 2008 at Noosa with Ngarluma woman Robyn Churnside. More recently she led an ad hoc session on appropriate consultation\/collaboration with community in rock art research.<\/p>\n<p>Tootsie was passionate about preserving and promoting the cultural significance of Murujuga (Dampier Archipelago). Her advocacy extended to the arts, where her creative expression on canvas and in film reflected her deep connection to Country and her people.<\/p>\n<p>As Circle of Elders member of the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation, she played a key role in guiding the World Heritage Nomination for the Murujuga Cultural Landscape. For the people of the west Pilbara, the Dreaming\u2014known as Ngurra Nyujunggamui\u2014marks the time when the world was soft and the Marrga creation spirits, along with the sky god Minkala, named and shaped the land, forming its hills and rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Tootsie\u2019s painting, released with the permission of her family, is entitled \u201cWhen the World was Soft\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"artwork\" class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_3 popup  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h4><em>Ngurra Nyujunggamui \u2013 When the World was Soft<\/em><\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2397\" src=\"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tootsie-Daniel_painting-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Tootsie Daniel_painting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tootsie-Daniel_painting-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tootsie-Daniel_painting-scaled-1-1280x1199.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tootsie-Daniel_painting-scaled-1-980x918.jpg 980w, https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tootsie-Daniel_painting-scaled-1-480x449.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-14\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":570,"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions\/570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaaconference.com.au\/2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
