The Yuendumu Mining Company is about the smallest company reaping a mineral harvest in Australia's current mining boom. Located about 200 miles north-west of Alice Springs in Central Australia, the company's plant and equipment consist of little more than a truck, a tractor, a small ore-crushing plant and a few wheelbarrows. But the 16 shareholders in the Copper mining venture, all of them aboriginals, are more than content with the progress of their company since it was first formed five years ago. (taken from script)

NLA summary: Originally shot in 1967, the footage in this film is re-examined ten years later by anthropologist Nicholas Peterson. He and filmmaker Roger Sandall had been working with Warlpiri (Walbiri) men in the desert away from the government settlement of Yuendumu in Central Australia. On their return to the settlement they observed the fire ceremony underway. One of the most spectacular ceremonies of Central Australia, it employs fire to inflict real and symbolic punishment on those responsible for a social transgression. In the course of the ceremony, one of the two main groupings (moieties) within Warlpiri society has the opportunity to exact from the other an acknowledgement of wrong-doing by some of its members. In his commentary Peterson explains this social division and the role the the ceremony plays in restoring order to the community. [NLA FLM <A12066656 H4062]
