cut. i grew up in a place called christmas creek it's in the western australia. as a child i remember stories about the past i had about a life in the great sandy desert i'm a family go. ahead stories about a war old to help them survive. economy jealous or living or. i have never seen them. why more than evil can approach their war from the desert. their parents or their provoke them from within a few ever all of their. christmas break with the cattle station where my family were working. my father had

a girl for us that stopped when he was the son a bit of what they you know and that's how i got my guardian name roll for. one day when i was ten my family took me to a kind of station called millibar. they are people there said a broad mining on to say good land. that right now you see that kid into our jeans. that's me. it was the first time i went just my people are fighting for their country. that. the mining company ended up grinning at no one. but for us it was still a victory. it but i'll fight for a man rides on the map. but as a kid i remember the excitement of being there. being part of something big i

am right that right. when we return christmas craig my father as usual was away working and mustering camps. but i never felt alone. we had big mobs of all people looking out for us. for me it was like having a big extended family. literally my grandfather from my mother's side was very special to me. is a man you. know would you never know it for a minute was to my mom you just you don't want him to fail to catch up with what you don't. or spider. brother but he was always a grandfather to me he was different yet he told stories all the time we.

were together when his wife dolly. and fish were crossing for millions are you going to get every letter but. a. letter. ever since i was a young boy spawn i was always singing. singing and dancing at all our community festivals. it was always about growing up in the great sandy desert. the country that he was forced to leave after the going to. the white man. dolly and spider always dreamt about getting the land in the desert back for many years we had been fighting for land rights. and nine hundred ninety two things began to happen. when he talked up for additional land and smash them for

additional wildlife what he brought the vases and the alcohol. where you committed the murder. where you took the children from their mother for the first time australia has recognised the legal existence of aborigines prior to white settlement the high court has recognized there would people here and their descendants have rights. the mabo decision showed us that we could legally claim our land back. to claim it back we have to prove we have a continuing relationship to our country. in one thousand nine hundred ninety four my grandfather literally a spider took me to day country. and been banked there for forty years.

it was my first trip to a country. i decided to shoot a video it was a new way of showing evidence for land claim all i had with be a guest camera. we took a white photo with us is can name is jalen a going to call him daniel. the land council asked me if i would be interested in conducting a lamb climb under the new native title act. and one of the first people that i met was fighter who told me that his his country was cordial and. when you were going to go there. i really didn't know how to get to where he wanted to go and he drew maps of his country on the sand in fitzroy crossing and really it wasn't on the

scale i'll tell you that. no one goes in this part of the great sandy desert no one travels in it it's almost inaccessible. like he was like a different world for me. i had to see the dance when i'm dancing. and no as i thank god we're not. going to. war. things began to happen we knew that we were going to close it because people were starting to burn the spinifex. that if. i only hear stories about that snake spirit living in a want to when i didn't believe it i finally don't find us with my camera. it was

hard to keep up. and running and shouting but coming to visit and good men with family i got better. but they took us to a small wet spot in the in the desert. it was just this small puddle this small patch of wetness and this was this a very important place that i've been telling us about for the last five days. were not that they were going to the water some of the young fellows that we were with and myself we started on what do you know. now yeah. you know what i'm going to get out of it right you know what. i think they're really going to want to let you know because we painted them and the new one is qualified to.

no. i never saw my grandfather with are so happy. that there. are. just. that. week. that i live. sitting around a lot of our grandparents a man and me up to stories told me as a kid. i really want to go understand what was going on here. is a man's area. man bring woman now after take

a nap the world over. as wife she leaves the woman. that is throw water on a woman so to just make bread with no one. and visit him i don't ever get any yeah now that the. woman back to camp but then i can see that something else was happening. but i was using the good and the money will pulling out. around i want to get over. it. and it represents the thought that. same thing. see there could have been a day owning it represent a cloud and i wanted it to but all that's the rain is coming down there with the. run of

the hill the let them out of it out on the load. for the first time i understood when the grandfathers danced came from. and the meaning of his headdress. the good the the motherland the. being in a place where spot it literally grew up was really emotional. and you know it like it is like going back to a place. it played. on country. oh no you believe going home. that i am literally inspired or were talking to something less than sort of feeling the waters they

were doing it. alone they said we had to go we had to go not like right now. ok so we packed up the camp and headed off a spider and literally really can only get as far from the place as possible and we drove and we drove and we drove and looking out into the west where the water hole was located were all the storm clouds and lightning right. and then i realized that is a rainmaking place that was what are literally and spider were doing today. they brought the rain. ritually made rain in my hood drives parts of australia and they were widely. as the rain makers . but i want to first find out there with my grandfather literally

when i. saw something that changed my life with me on the trip. and they'll be able to trust that mail believe in me to carry on this responsibility. i mean it's a big it's a big thing big job. but to get it or get a feeling from our people at the trust from our people. that make you feel good inside. that confessional causing. daniel to get a dagger and because on the trip. he started to write the name of god with me. for me a trip that we're not. going to find out more. i wanted to

read about our history. when watchfulness came into our country in eighty and eighty they want to water. they drove us off our land and turned a country and a huge cattle station. and then advert kenning camel he wanted us hundred one dollars or they cattle. a bit at two thousand kilometer trek through our tribal lands. they call it the coming stock route and it destroyed the traditional way of life. itself by this very same response but. it in your view you would want to. be used as a good water holes to make fifty one wells for day cattle. on

a problem that can infer that he didn't there were any clue other water was so he kept it as a people attend them up get them sold meant stop them a water. and he let them go if one of the tracks at the ranch to get what. they imprisoned i want inside metal and wood boxes. and wells were closed and some of them are people ground trying to get down because they want to. most of my people had to move away from their traditional way of life that. among them well my grandparents spot i was a young man when he left the desert to find only his promise wife. she was working as a housemaid i got a station up my white grandfather. right. now

better off and he didn't like desert people because you just various cattle. when he seems potter or better over it take him off if i was going to just of riding him so as bada ran down to aruba and he climbed up by about creek. bed rover he went dead document just on the tree. or spotted he was on top when he seen the fire coming over he jumped down and he landed like bottom and on more force that's why his name is padda. spot and danny ended up working on christmas great cattle station. you know must have a parachute the class whatever they're holding it up and we know there were billions of the things you know have been more than answers and they're made the station to what they're today. we finally became

citizens and got a call right after the nine hundred sixty seven referendum. but even the station owners refused to pay my people equal weight use. after decades of working there they were loaded on to trucks and dumped on the banks over iraq. that was the boat price a bus ride crossing. fish fry went from a population of sixty people to a refugee camp up to a thousand. they had nothing to do no work no nothing. while. wife. was dry. dry spot and only

kept that country alive by letting the bank. use it comes naturally because of ceremonies and painting up on bodies and sand brings. it was the beginning of good interest never you know not being so. strong they became famous artists and the paintings so around the world used to be into a new york london you name it they've been everywhere. this is one up spot of paintings the only paints or doll. i want to hold it left in the desert. that i have back a. dolly and a mama bobby abreu from the red sandy desert came up with a big plan to get their country back. they were going to paint

their country for evidence. they traveled to burning me on the edge of the great sandy desert with more than fifty people from four different language groups that i knew and you know i love my. first name that was painted on the lawn or a canvas represents the kenny stock quote. it was to help the guy here the white fellas know. it was important for people to paint their country because think on. their last big english and they can't read or write. the canvas is like a map a bird's eye view of the country that shows the printout of stories and where people used to walk. and it's a pretty damn good map. it took nearly a week to finish the painting. and then came the time to use it as evidence for and

came. along. told fred chaney from the native title tribe you know all about. how you know what our. country. and i want to know that. i mean that this was just. you know every. day at the. end i don't know man i know or not. what friends. do you know nothing and then you know. this is where we used to dance. them today. this is.

right. in order. to canberra. and the country. we have. this is our country it represents. culture. as you can see with the vastness of this map it's a link up between. trying to explain aboriginal society you know. people this is a task in itself and. we hope. this.

thank you thank. interested. so the national gallery borrowed the canvas for an exhibition. it was like the country was strangers. family to look after it. the more i canvassed i spent the last two years at the. national gallery and something like a million people stored. by door people there wanted it back and sent me to canberra to break it up. and. that's my little cousin brother buster was

bought out. and i mean. this is his first glimpse of the jewelry. that here we're got that. when they stand on it it's just like standing on your home and it's like going home. mart up there will never see the country. they too old. it makes them sad and they cry. they cry for the banks. and hold. tight. let me know how that man or not.

selfish and sick those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after witness rainmakers of the outback life and. it was a. country . about what was happening in my life. i was worried. he already lost two grandsons to rope and was desperate to help me.

yeah. it was important for the landlady to take are not more young people so they get out on a country. with the youngest one on the trip. it felt good to be out there no pop and no destruction. spider taught me to not fires or not know we are coming that's fine if you act like spiderman. the closer we got to go to a foster home fires. when you got to do is want to everywhere it was flooded out. at first i don't it was good

plenty of water. but then i saw a spider he was upset. over you know you. got that letter. that your mother never met. that we didn't like. or not was or coming up with what i want i am going to be a little much. the little patch we cleaned out bring up no ground water it now was covered. by rain in the. left north along the course. nobody was dead all. about right.

why don't i don't. know. if. he doesn't even you know those new fires and singing. and. perfect.

the rain it means. without a. day. or night and. next morning. ya know. i don't know.

why a lot of our. own people i mean been back there for a long time it's like meeting someone you haven't seen a long time. his own life well born out here and then the spurs come back here

and. the country's reputation spreading into what. we're getting ready to go on the road . and just about everything. on the dominique.

i mean the end of. the. day. fortunately. for. a little bit of it it was great being on the road meeting new people. it was not so fragrant and every night a party. i felt like a rock star. was one of the most hard for me with the thought. out a man claim took nearly fifteen years to get through the cold and many of the are people of god on the way. but it looked like the big day is finally arrived.

we ending the determination yet. whether one or a canvas was painted. kaberle or the price that the federal court. convicted seventy years i. would have would you. the number of thank you for your time i. was quite fit. with your was you've only got your breath on a three. digit plant running. from was. my life. your entire. story. and every year. the law says to all the people of syria. this is your land. that it always has been you know i am going to tell you who.

your situation. is bad thanks i had meant i had a feeling something was wrong. why did. that judge call out spiders name. was there some people got their country back. was bad and you got nothing for it and i got a guy here and i really. hope that everyone can read and understand that you're not. all that hard work and for nothing you know about most of all gone.

it took them weeks to find out their problem was the boundaries dog allegedly. asked the old people where your country is going here it just brought strange land on a map. were not always that's not a boundary. spider can understand what the confusion is all about it's his country and always has been his country in his mind and then lost it in the first place. the problem is the one federal law it's written on paper and it always changes. the book for or is written in the us underground and in the countryside and it is never changed. when we are.

ever seems to determination had a sense that time was running out to parts only when it was there that i love that never mind that they never they thought that. that it gave yeah right yeah. that. only a little boston and when i was made to seem interested in or spied a. spot i won't be here for long. i don't think any more. one thing i knew i had. not met you. if you walk away look at every one of them to lay out your neck about.

iowa live with god and own people from the knowledge. that. if. i did as my. grandfather would only let me die.

when somebody dies in the name they used to be. it's a big thing in the family decides it's the right answer. this time the nail on the boundaries of the land came. through that when a different rain could have been coming stop what. we have to map the boundaries on the dam and.

once again. was happy to join us. going into the minimal or do you. mean there were a lot of his growth on the side now david and i going to follow that it is going that way seem good or we're going to go yeah yeah. yeah i did learn about it read up what i learned about money i don't enjoy. coming was hard and frustrating. spy was always insisting he knew the best way to go i think

a lot of all that all really right when i leave and get what i believe that he and i never got we got to go down that road. but you know i'm another given that here that you were never never what i'm going to have to learn to play with a what you would have under what i learn to play. a part of the right gotta let me get under the gun and then let it run the moment you're getting to. the yeah like ever do or any other animal in the world that what i know that old gentleman forget galen were never good at it or not. for none of them. are not a. and .

that might have another way to know what other markets. were. right. and that led to it i don't know yet again we're not going to know everybody i know what i would campaign were going to do what you really. were never finished but by do i already not oh no no no no no but yeah i mean i'm going to have kerry reading. only she's warning about koran if you dad now. go in there.

country and. used to see people i had left for them. and he was going to. clean it but it was an awful lot of the country. to me. just like most. were done on. one done or not worked out like a gun. or done life.

for the right. you're right. i don't. really like going to work today never going to. be free to live the way. i kept busy and focus on my attention on the spot of land and a final trip. young who would love the. concrete.

and. so strong. if like. that then everything. and i don't need me on. their terms of a. day show to hold a country they gave us a country. and we got to. go under what. twenty years ago only the dancers on the big canvas. couldn't turn. faster and faster than if that engine. only painted me and she painted.

we finally arrived at after five hot days. it was dry.

in there. yeah. whatever. he was here to say goodbye to what all love is all.

we walked beyond our people. following in their footsteps. a morning a car just drove for spider and or more people. will be the next great make it up the desert. it's like a cycle of life your people deposit down to us and we're going to pass it on to our children and they're going to present today children.
