Warlpiri Purlapa in Lajamanu

Added by Oz Outback

Men from Lajamanu, an Aboriginal community about 550 kilometres south west of Katherine on the edge of the Tanami Desert are painted up and perform "purlapa", men's corroboree, at dusk. This was recorded with an old 8 mm film camera, so the technical quality is poor.
