For over 30,000 years, the Arrernte Aboriginal people have been custodians of this remote land – a land of red earth, awe-inspiring rock formations and ethereal skies.  Alice, or Mparntwe in the Arrernte language, has profound, unhealed wounds, both ancient and recent.

An Aboriginal man by the name of Jefferson Lewis has been charged with her murder.  In accordance with Aboriginal custom, under which…
