My neighbour from back home does talc carvings and he is a liberater for Aboriginal rights. He has been campaigning for years to get the Aboriginal flag incorporated onto the Australian flag.

Hi there, as part of my university course I am undertaking the theory subject; indigenous art, culture and design. As an Aboriginal person myself I find it interestign to learn about the culture; how different groups have certain traditions etc. I'll mostly be putting up links about movie reviews, events or random rants about whatever is annoying me at the time (that is relevant to this subject). I might put other stuff up. I'm new at this so bear with me. Rosheen

Indigenous movies
For this subject we are required to write a reflective paper on an Indigenous event, movie or artwork. I chose movie. The movie I wanted to write about was The Tracker which is a brilliant film but I was unabale to find it. Neither could I find Rabbit Proof Fence. However, I had no difficulty finding Bran Nue Dae; perhaps there's a message there that only humerous cultural movies are easly accessible whereas depressing but accurate films of the mistreatment of Indigenous people are harder to find.
However, I do not mean to insinuate that humerous films have any less merit; Stone Bros is quite popular as was Bran Nue Dae (althought as a stickler for spelling typing it this way makes me cringe)
