Desert Healing PROJECT DESCRIPTION Desert Healing tells the story of what took place when the people of the Kutjungka Region, South East Kimberley, gathered to recognise the deaths of their relatives in a massacre that occurred at Purrkuji (Sturt Creek Station) circa 1922. The community wanted to recognise this painful event which had burdened them for more than seventy years. National Sorry Day presented an opportune time for this to take place. This video is an excellent resource for any group interested in issues of reconciliation and the healing of painful memories. It demonstrates clearly that while the events of the past cannot be undone, healing can indeed happen when people of goodwill work together.
