Twelve Canoes

Twelve Canoes - a beautiful & media-rich site presenting the stories, art and environment of the Yolngu people who live around the Arafura swamp in north-eastern Arnhem Land, Australia.
This is from the same mob who brought to you the Ten Canoes movie. Apparently, there are a number of other canoe projects, preserving & sharing the ancient culture of the Arnhem Land aboriginals.

Took a quick peak and the site looks so intriguing - can't wait to finish work today so I can explore further - thanks, Ubu!

This is a great resource, Ubu. Thanks for pointing this out. The photography is gorgeous.
I enjoyed the film Ten Canoes so much when I saw it in Australia, I made sure to buy a copy of the DVD when I got back to the US. I've tried to share it with as many friends as possible. I encourage fellow USians to find the film and watch it. It's an amazing portrayal of a people and a culture that the world knows very little about. I thought the movie website and the accompanying study guide was a great resource, so I'm happy to see this new project emerge.
