Overview

Through the voices of Aboriginal directors, writers and artists, this accessible series of public service announcements uses storytelling, humour and powerful visual and sound images to offer audiences insights into profound values: the legacy and history of self-governance in Aboriginal societies, respect for the land and its resources, a celebration of the creative spirit of Aboriginal language and culture, respect for oneself and others, and the key role of the artist in all aspects of Aboriginal life.
