Indigenous culture recovered

The passing on of skills, tradition and culture happen every day in every
interaction between generations. However a project that saw the skills of
building a bark canoe passed from Gunai/Kurnai Elder Uncle Albert Mullet to
his grandson has particular significance.

The Boorun's Canoe project will be the feature exhibition at the Bunjilaka
Aboriginal Culture Centre at the Melbourne Museum during NAIDOC Week.

Featuring Gippslanders Cameron Cope and Steaphan Paton, it follows them and
other young men being taught how to strip bark from a tree and construct a
canoe under the instruction of Gunai/Kurnai Elder Uncle Albert Mullett,
Steaphan's grandfather.
