| Summary |
NITV's Just Us month presents this documentary about Indigenous Australia's history in Tasmania. Directed by Steve Thomas, Black Man's Houses is a re-examination of Tasmanian history. It explores the reasons for the deep divide, at the time, between the contemporary Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities on Flinders Island in Bass Strait and the fight by its Aboriginal community to lay claim to the gravesites of their ancestors. A symbol of this divide was the dispute over land at Wybalenna, where the remaining tribal Aboriginal people from the Tasmanian mainland were incarcerated in the mid-19th Century and it is also the site of more than 120 Aboriginal graves.Follow the conversation on Twitter: #NITV |
