Description In 1883 a large gathering of First Nations People gathered at the top of Doctor George Mountain, near Bega, on the NSW Far South Coast to perform a mens initiation specifically so that it could be recorded by one of the world's earliest anthropologists, Alfred William Howitt. This film tells that story and explains the continuing importance of ceremony today for First Nations People. Co-directed by Yuin Elder, Warren Foster, Stuart Cohen and Murray Vanderveer. Commissioned by South East Local Land Services.
