NLA summary: Presents a dramatisation of the Coniston Massacre in
August
1928, when seven white Australians murdered at least 31 members of the
Walpiri people. Reconstructs, using transcripts, the 1929 federal
inquiry into what was the last large scale massacre of Aborigines in
Australia, and shows its contemporary relevance as Walpiri people who
were scattered and driven off their land are given the opportunity to
prove to the Aboriginal Land Commission their right to return and live
where they were born. [was NLA call number FLM
