Familiar places (A)

Shows the recent movement of Aboriginal people back to their traditional lands. As this movement has grown Aborigines have seen the importance of mapping their land, and we see anthropologist Peter Sutton helping them. Peter Sutton provides a commentary on what he has learned about Aboriginal ties to the land.
