​His experiences have led to a belief in the value of reciprocity and Lou aspires to seek understandings and solutions that can embolden processes of reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. He believes that this can be achieved through a mutual exchange of ideas and a willingness to heal our past and grow a proud future together.

Lou expresses faith in the process of harnessing collective strengths to raise and sustain a future of united voice that can talk of a national identity we can all own and be proud of.
