Knowledge, Painting And CountryNovember 18, 2015

Aboriginal society respects its elders as the guardians of cultural knowledge and law. Community elders are important role models and educators and as the custodians of Aboriginal culture and lands, their responsibilities include passing on the stories and techniques of painting to younger generations of Aboriginal people. This passing of knowledge has helped Aboriginal people retain a deep respect and understanding for the country and the nature that surrounds them. KNOWLEDGE, PAINTING AND COUNTRY, the third film in this series about the culture of Western Arnhem Land, takes us on a journey to meet two of the region’s most highly respected elders. We should all listen carefully.

Knowledge, Painting And Country was broadcast on NITV at Wednesday 18 November 2015, 00:45. This episode was initially placed on Tuesday 10 June 2014.
