Body
We report on a project about fire management and indigenous knowledge sharing. Unexpectedly,
Martu preferentially chose a video production rather than other media to share knowledge about
fire. We found Martu people actively engaged in video making as it had direct relevance to their
skills, topic of interest, and an applied context. They shaped the video content to reflect their
contemporary reality of integrated knowledge rather than exclusively ‘traditional’ knowledge. . . . .
