Clip description

Teddy Briscoe makes the journey to buy horses with his family. Teddy tells us that Atekerr is his father’s country.

Curator’s notes

Like so much of the Nganampa Anwernekenhe series, historical information about particular areas of the country is given by an elder who, in telling us his story, divulges a personal account of bygone years. In this instance, Teddy Briscoe talks to us about buying horses, and the clip sets up the rest of the film which goes on to talk about the cattle industry and the role of Aboriginal stockmen within it.
