— Appears in: The Australian Journal of Indigenous Education , Supplementary issue vol. 39S no. 2010; (p. 87-95) 'Storytelling is an integral part of life for Indigenous Australians. Before the arrival of Europeans and continuing after; gathered around the campfire in the evening stories were and are still shared; passed from one generation to the next. In modern times, in addition to continuing oral traditions, another method of storytelling has risen from the ashes of the fire: filmmaking and multi-media production. In the past stories were verbally passed from one family member to the next. Sometimes these 'yarns' were presented on a 'message stick' and the modern form of the traditional message stick is the DVD or the internet. This paper will examine the importance and crucial element of re-representation of images, archives or productions that have in the past, and in the majority, portrayed Indigenous cultures and communities in a derogatory or less than flattering manner. Further, it will explain the main factors for appropriate manifestation of Indigenous perspectives within any film production that is portraying or capturing Indigenous individuals, narratives and/or communities. The paper relates the key elements that must be in place to ensure appropriate and robust Indigenous agency in any film production. Finally, the paper concludes with an affirmation of the need to creatively engage in the third space; between Indigenous values and priorities and Western formats and narrative structures, to arrive at a uniquely modern Indigenous telling that is accessible, firstly to Indigenous Australians, and secondly, to those with whom we wish to share our stories.'

When Weewar heard that Dyung, a member of the tribe responsible for the death of his son, was moving through Binjareb territory he was governed by one law - traditional Aboriginal law. Weewar's trial became the test case in Western Australia which determined that British Law took precedence over traditional law.' Sourced: Kulbardi Productions (sighted 1/5/2009)

'The Forgotten is a film about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women who have served, fought and died for their country in all of the wars and peace-keeping missions that the Australian armed forces were involved in the 20th century. Glen Stasiuk was inspired by his family's own history and the respect he felt for the Anzac black diggers. Consequently, The Forgotten contains a personal story about four Nyoongar brothers from the South-West of Western Australia, one of whom is acknowledged as the first Aboriginal Soldier to receive a military medal in the First World War.

'The Forgotten features war veterans and family member's personal experience s and thoughts from both World Wars, as well as veterans who served in Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and East Timor' (Source: Creative Spirits website)
