PAW Media & Communication is a community owned and directed media and technology provider, which aims to improve the quality of life for Pintubi, Anmatjere and Warlpiri people. PAW's activities include:
The celebration, recording and promotion of Pintubi, Anmatjere, and Warlpiri culture and language Ensuring Pintubi, Anmatjere and Warlpiri people have access to reliable information services Providing skills development and employment opportunities through training, monitoring and education Empowering Pintubi, Anmatjere and Warlpiri people to assert their self identity and to share the unique aspects of their culture though a diverse range of media and technology
The group's Indigenous Culture program will see 25 narrated slideshow films produced across four to five remote communities in the Central Desert region. Covering an area greater than 300,000 square kilometres, the films will document traditional indigenous land management practises including traditional burning, cross-generational transfer of indigenous ecological knowledge, training of young people in traditional responsibilities of land management, and regular environmental monitoring of native flora and fauna.
The films will be produced by local indigenous filmmakers through PAW Media & Communication and will screen publicly in each participating community via local television broadcast.
To assist PAW Media & Communication in achieving these goals, Canon Australia has supplied:
EOS 40D Enthusiast Kit and accessories including lenses, batteries and a hard case
The equipment provided by Canon Australia will enable the production of narrated slideshow films that will increase awareness of the benefits of Aboriginal land management and promote the sharing of unique indigenous ecological knowledge amongst different communities.
