Tangki
Tangki - Donkey
Synopsis:
Three Aṉangu women of different generations tell the story of how donkeys came to be malpa wiru, valuable friends and helpers, to families in the desert community of Pukatja /Ernabella in the APY Lands of northern South Australia. At first wary of these strange animals, Aṉangu quickly became fond of the donkeys. They would set off on them for picnics and longer journeys, always returning home safely. With the arrival of cars, people’s relationship with donkeys changed. But one special donkey found a different way to remain a good friend to people in Pukatja.
