An innovative Aboriginal mentoring program in Queensland in combination with Desert Pea Media has produced a couple of great vids. from Year 11 and 12 students at St. Teresas College in Abergowrie.
The music and clips demonstrate issues around pride, love of place and home, connection to country, We Belong! and The Brotherhood!
Questions
- What is the role of rapping and media here?
- What do the lyrics and clip say about the connection to place and position?
- How significant are programs like mentoring and using the media to disseminate Traditional Owner values and perspectives more widely, and to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth?
