- Summary
- [Abstract from DVD jacket] This is a story about the history of our country 'Mer Rrkwer'. To the Anmatyerr people, Rrkwer is a very important place because it holds a permanent water source that never dries up. We relied on Rrkwer for our survival, especially in times of drought. It is also a central meeting place of ceremonial importance for the Anmatyerr and Warlpiri people. Traditional owners from Ti Tree go on a journey to visit Rrkwer (Brooks Soak) to respect their ancestors, to perform ceremony and to see how the country has changed. They haven't been back for over forty years. This film shows Anmatyerr social responsibility towards caring for the land, animals and plants through their cultural and spiritual relation to water. Traditional owners find the land degraded and their water sources contaminated as a result of the open grazing management practices used by the local pastoralists, compounded by the absence of their own physical presence on traditional lands now occupied by pastoral stations. The second DVD features a selection of public Anmatyerr women's ceremonial songs from Brooks Soak country -Awely Rrkwer. These performances of 24 songs show management and knowledge of Rrkwer country and the associated mythology
