'The bones in Seale Gorge are the bones of Gurindji people who were massacred by kartiya on horseback. They were going around hunting kangaroos, fish and the like. Then the kartiya spotted ngurnpit people. That's when they shot everyone. Their bones are there now. Ngumpin were shot all around here. There are bones scattered everywhere. These are our ancestors which is why we get sick at heart when we see these bones. They were our countrymen. They were shot on their own land. These bones now rest in a cave in Seale Gorge. (They were taken there from Tartarr when Gurindji walked off Wave Hill Station in 1967.' (Introduction)

'This is Aboriginal land. It belongs to Aboriginal people from all different language groups and different tribes. There weren't kartiya here before. They only came later. Aboriginal people were the only ones who owned the land before. This land didn't hold horses or cattle in the past. There only used to be kangaroos, emus, fish and goannas here before. Now the horse has taken over. ' (Introduction)
