In the Saddle, On the Wall
Driven by senior artists from across the Kimberley the paintings, digital recordings and publications that have become In the Saddle – On the Wall contain important historical and deeply personal accounts of a time when aboriginal people were the back-bone of the Kimberley cattle industry. This was a period characterised by injustice and displacement, new experiences of cultural relations, journeys through Country and a deep sense of pride. It was Aboriginal people’s knowledge of their Country, the seasons and stories that shaped it, which enabled the pastoral industry to succeed in this region. As artist and former stockman Patrick Mung Mung remarks, “White men know that we were great in this place.”
Produced by Kimberley Aboriginal Artists

Rukaji Tote Bag
Our company Rukaji Designs is named after the rai (spirit) who lives in the Larrkarti (boab) tree down at the creek on our country. Our Nykina & Walmajarri family lives in a remote desert community of 15 people (not counting dogs and kids) in Jimbalakudunj, an hour from Fitzroy Crossing, and three hours from Broome. We collect parntapi (bark), leaves and other materials around our community and along the Fitzroy River, and we find rusty metal objects.
We are happy to share our hand dyed tote bag with you and hope you get wonderful use of it.
Care Instructions: Handwash with a little dishwashing detergent and dry in the shade.
