Lamb Enters the Dreaming
Robert Kenny "The Lamb" traces the life of Nathanael Pepper of the Wotjobaluk people. Pepper was born as the first pastoralists were driving cattle and sheep into Victoria's Wimmera region. In their wake came the Christian missionaries, who were just as hostile to the settlers violence as they were to the traditional beliefs of Aboriginal people. Pepper converted to Christianity in 1860, and began an extraordinary story of his attempts to reconcile the apparently irreconcilable differences between his culture and the symbolic nature of Chrisianity. |
