Kaiadilt people
The Kaiadilt people called the island of Bentinck home from time immemorial, and then in the early 1940's Europeans forcibly removed them in order to settle the land for themselves. 1986, they were allowed to return and in doing so re-establish their bonds with the country. This is a work of collaboration by seven Kaiadilt women each adding their own "sentence" to the "story" of their Country. To describe the experience of standing in its presence as moving doesn't come closed--it radiates the combined devotion of the artists.
