David Unaipon had a commitment to sharing his stories with
non-Aboriginal people. What can we make of this? Did he mean they
have the freedom to adopt Aboriginal myths and stories without
qualm, without recourse, without responsibility? Or did he merely
hope that they would be valued as part of our country's cultural
expression? How, if ever, can Aboriginal themes be 'used' in a way
that is acceptable to Aboriginal people? How can non-Aboriginals
interpret their work? Neither Homer nor Shakespeare are around to
defend their work, but Aboriginal people are alive and outspoken
about how they are depicted on the page, stage and on the screen.
Muruwari playwright Jane Harrison tackles this intractable issue
and finds a way forward.
