when people say oh I want them to think

that our culture is still alive I want

them to feel inspired about their

artworks and you try and they'll be

ashamed of it

our school is about 80 percent

indigenous some of the children are a

little bit disconnected and they're

drifting away from their culture a

little bit

decided that they can bring their

culture back and inspire other kids

they're working on a cultural sculpture

that's going to be down in a culture

area in their school and it will consist

of didgeridoos and also cool and so it's

men and women's business is gonna be

telling stories it's gonna have columns

on the did you do I have water running

out into the cooler moons the symbolism

will be coming together at the river

named Baba fangy faithfulness to God and

a and Scott learn Aboriginal all

divergent a lot

but explain the do's and don'ts about

respecting land respecting culture watch

out for snakes

when you go out to the bush and the kids

realize that the back on country and

they're away from all the distractions

in town they really get a sense of

belonging somewhere I was a standing you

learn all this stuff about every new

country in Aboriginal art this is your

country alcohol took them through the

bush to to show them how to identify

what trees were suitable to be used for

didgeridoo is you go look for the right

tree and not go down in this me so take

another bark off it

[Music]

I've come back to school and then

they've started working on a story to

put onto their didgeridoos oh my did you

connection wherever they're from and

to see them really in engage and the

painting and the design and even their

story writing is wonderful it's

wonderful and I can't wait to see the

project finish the skull feel that was

building it could learn people or teach

people that Aboriginal art works not be

play with door bursts away broken

lot of pride it's a privileged familiar

to work with such connected kids worth a

big time

we really want to make a big mark our

scope of public school and we want to

show it off to everyone I hope that the

students will get a sense of belonging

and being empowered with bringing their

culture back so they can pass it on

you have been told and passing on ok
