Samantha's cultural name is Nyawurra Nyadbi, she's an Aboriginal woman from the Kija/Jaru and Woolahnga tribes in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia, and performed a traditional "smoking" or cleansing ceremony at today's Australia Day function on the Sunshine Coast.
She was rather busy welcoming 180 new Australian citizens so I didn't get to ask her permission to publish this photo, however given her profile I'm sure she won't mind. You can check out more information about her here: Samantha Martin
