Indigenous advocate Dr Bush Blanasi remembered at annual Barunga Festival

  • 13 days ago
Thousands have descended on the small Indigenous community of Barunga, east of Katherine, for its annual festival of Indigenous culture. It's a celebration with a special note of reflection this year, honouring the late Dr Bush Blanasi – a powerful voice who championed the learning of traditional culture, on country, as a way for young Indigenous people to thrive. A warning, this story contains the image of a person who has died.
