It looks at the mission era when many Yolngu became economic refugees and the role that missions had at that time. Learn when communities were largely run by Yolngu, who were involved in everything from building to engineering to book-keeping. It explains how in the 1970’s the idea of Aboriginal ‘self-determination’ turned out to be something else, ending in a nightmare of the welfare mentality.
