Belonging – An Indigenous Perspective

Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stockroute is an exhibition at the National Museum that explains the powerful notion of belonging to family and to place for the Aboriginal people of the Canning Stockroute in Western Australia.  Their art is more than just image; it is story, spirit and connection to the land.

This was where our people got together as one, along these wells. Our grandfathers too. They was all as one people, don’t matter [that they they're from] different tribes. They came here, stay for a while, and then go back home.Patrick Olodoodi (Alatuti) Tjungurrayi, Kilykily (Well 36), 2007
