Résumé
Indiqué sur la jaquette : Meet Isaiah Nagurrgurrba and Alan Namaniyuo as they take us on a journey up Injalak Hill. The artists from Injalak arts and crafts, an aboriginal art centre in Gunbalanya Western Arnhem Land, paint as their ancestors have always done, to mark their connection to the land and to demonstrate their rights and responsabilities to the country aboriginal people have cared for over tens of thousands of years. In this film we meet the creation mother, Yingana painted on the rock surface of Injalak Hill. Since deep time, aboriginal people have painted images on the rock escarpments of the Stone country. These images are the markers of place and connection to country, they are the images of law, knowledge and power. Today, these important records of culture society are passed on by the artists from Injalak arts and crafts, to both younger generations of aboriginal people and now beyond, to all the corners of the earth.
