Francis Jupurrurla Makes TV at Yuendumu

Similar to Turner's article, in Eric Michaels' text, the Warlpiri people integrate their own cultural values into their movies- a modern, western form of expression. The Warlpiri people's "Law" involves the "metaphoric and metonymic relationship of kin and land" (Michaels 106.7). Just like kinship passes down land, oral stories pass down history and myths. Oral history is a large part of Warlpiri culture and they incorporate it into their movies. By incorporating oral stories and following the "Law" in his films, Jupurrurla creates a mixture of the contradicting cultures of the west/European and the other/Aborigine.
