Karajarri history and the fight for native title recognition

Karajarri Elder Mervyn Mulardy and his grandson Wynston Shovellor tell us the incredible story of the Karajarri people, whose traditional lands and waters stretch over several hundred kilometres in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.

We learn about Bidyadanga, the largest remote Aboriginal community in Western Australia, the impact of colonisation in the Kimberley and on Karajarri, and the long journey that Karajarri have undertaken to have their native title recognised. The successful recognition of native title has been a cause for celebration, but has also been fraught with its own challenges.
