Keeping the Language

Added by PAKAM

This documentary is built around a series of interviews with seven Nyul Nyul / Jabirr Jabirr "Saltwater People" cultural bosses who describe the cultural genocide they and their forebears suffered when the church stopped the use of language and the local practice of Nyul Nyul Law and Culture in the days of the Beagle Bay Mission.
