AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Zita Wallace was taken from her Arrernte family at the age of eight. When she returned to her traditional community 43 years later she was rejected and labelled “a white devil”.'

'Aggie Abbott, an Arrernte woman and also a “half-caste”, was hidden from the Aboriginal Protector at the same time Zita was taken. Today she still has her law, her language and her culture but lives in abject poverty.'

'This is the remarkable tale of two women who have forged a new friendship and are taking the debate of the stolen generation “beyond sorry”.' (Source: CAAMA website)

      Over 192 episodes have been produced since 1987, with the series' primary aim being the maintenance of Aboriginal languages and culture. Nganampa Anwernekenhe is broadcast in Aboriginal languages, and is the only Aboriginal language program produced by and broadcast to Aboriginal people. The series is subtitled so that it is accessible to people who do not speak the Indigenous languages used in each program.

      'Early episodes focused on traditional law and culture stories and many of these are no longer available for public viewing. Social issues including women's welfare, health management and language change became central after about 5 years, followed in subsequent series by individual meditations on different Aboriginal identities.' Contemporary historical accounts have come to prominence in the early 2000s (Lisa Stefanoff, 'CAAMA: From the Heart,' p.19).

      All programs selected for inclusion in the Nganampa Anwernekenhe series must meet the CAAMA critieria. Included is the requirement that each show must:

        • contain 50% traditional and 50% mixed and regionally spread content;
