Hope, Pride and Harmony at Barunga

Barunga Festival: Gurrumul, John Butler and a big slice of real Indigenous Australia. How much should Australians know about their Indigenous people? About the clans, the languages, the Dreamtime, the rituals and the instruments? Many don’t realize that the stereotypes we do know make up something called pan-Aboriginality – a collection of traits from numerous clans that we have come to know as a general representation of Aboriginal Australians.
