A First Nations Elder shares his extraordinary story of finding kindness in the midst of prejudice, and joy in living life to the full.

Welcome to my story.

I didn't learn a lot in school, not in the classroom, anyway. But I learned a lot from life.

'Always remember you're as good as anybody else,' Vince's mother, Kate, often told him. And he was, becoming a champion footballer and premiership-winning coach. But change was in the air, and Vince wanted to help make life better for his people too.

At every step, Vince found light in the darkness, the friendly face in the crowd, the small moments that make the world go round.

Welcome to the wonder of little things.
