Clip description
Teddy Briscoe and his family unload the newly purchased horses. Teddy‘s son Johnny welcomes us to his home, Pulardi (Desert Bore). Children gather around the stockyards as Johnny tells us that the children will learn to ride on the pony. Johnny tells us that this country is Anmatyerre, and this is the language that is spoken throughout this area.
Curator’s notes
The legacy of the Indigenous stockmen who were such an important part of the cattle industry in Central Australia is still evident in the familial culture of the Briscoe family. The children will be expected to learn the skills of the generations before and horses, though introduced, are a big part of local family identity.
