In this ancient meeting place, near Tunnel Creek in the heart of the Kimberley between two towering boabs, the remains of two Bunuba men and one woman will rest in peace at last - 100 years after they were taken away.
A Federal repatriation program slowly retrieves Aboriginal remains from around the world.
There are remains still in France, Germany, Austria, England, the US and South Africa. "Rather than having them mailed back to us, we organise for the tribal group to go over and escort the remains back," Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre spokesman Neil Carter said
Today, the remains of more than 100 Aboriginals, collected from Sweden, Austria and Australian museums, are stored in two sea containers at Fitzroy Crossing, awaiting burial.
