Australian Broadcasting Corporation producer Andrew Dodd introduces listeners to David Mowijarli. Mowijarli's ancestors came from the remote Kimberley region, but were "resettled" by cattle barons in the late 1950s. Many younger aboriginal people are unaware of this living history, of their ancestral heritage. Mowijarli now travels around the country, collecting young people and taking them back to where they belong through history and storytelling about events both ancient and recent. It may now be possible for aboriginal peoples to reclaim land lost to white colonization, and many believe that this education process is the first step to reclamation.
