       Camphoo Pwerl.

520    Crook Hat and Camphoo are Alyawarra elders, from central 
       Australia, who are concerned about the survival of 
       traditional skills and culture. As Crook Hat says at the 
       beginning of this outstanding film: “We are telling the 
       old peoples way. Its not just our way. We are trying to 
       teach others what we have learnt.”  In this film, Crook 
       Hat and Camphoo pass on knowledge and skills relating to 
       the making of spears and spear-throwers (woomeras). The 
       two elders go into the bush to find suitable tree branches
       for making spears and spear-heads, and use fire to 
       straighten the branches. After peeling the bark and 
       smoothing the wood, they use sinew from a kangaroo and 
       tree resin to fasten the spear-head to the spear. Other 
       wood is used for the spear-thrower or woomera, and again 
       they use plant resin to make a comfortable grip for the 
       hunter.  As they make their spears and woomeras, Crook Hat
       and Camphoo reflect on the ingenuity of the old ways, and 
       remember being taught by their fathers. Their need to pass
       on their knowledge is deeply felt and affects everything 
       they do.  This short film is a moving and eloquent 
       reflection on the transfer of knowledge from elders to a 
       new generation of Aboriginal people and to a wider world.
