Summary
Narritjin Maymuru is leader of the Manggalili clan of northeast Arnhem Land. Filmed in 1971, this documentary shows the daily life of Narritjin and his family at a camp in the bush where Narritjin and other senior men are making dug-out canoes. It is a few miles from Yirrkala Mission, where Narritjin and his family live.. The area where Narritjin is working is owned by a different clan, and discussions are held between Narritjin and the traditional owners over the use of trees for canoe making.. The canoes which we see Narritjin and his clan make are possibly the last dug-out canoes to have been made in Arnhem Land
