Laura Quinkan Dance Festival - Lockhart River Dancers 1

A traditional story is enacted by a large dance group from Lockhart River, in the north of Cape York. It depicts the abduction of a young boy from a group of sleeping children by a spirit man. His mother discovers her child missing, people cry and a group of warriors is dispatched to retrieve the boy. The boy is rescued and his abductor is speared to death. This was performed at the 2009 Laura Aboriginal Dance Festival, Cape York, in Far North Queensland, Australia.
