“The video means a lot to us mob. We filmed it on our Country, rocky country, walking to sacred places and singing songs. Singing Mimih too, our Kunborrk (Ceremony songline). We were looking after country while we went along making that video, burning country, burning trees and grass. I felt so good, I could feel everything, home, country, ancestors, people, everything touched me. “Kun-waral birri-yolhmakminj” (Spirit was really happy).
I know that when people look at us walking country, they will recognise themselves, and think way back about how they been walking their own country.
We are taking all the people with us, if you are watching this video, you are seeing our paintings, our caves, our culture. You are walking with us helping us care for our country,” explains Victor.
