Lilly Kemarre Morton

Artists of Ampilatwatja

Lilly shares her stories about life before white man when they lived traditionally off of the land, and walked with her mother and grandmothers across their country.

Lilly’s husband Banjo is the man that led the well-known walk off from Ampilatwatja community in 2010, protesting for a better way of life for his people. The first walk off in 1949 was with a small group of other Aboriginal stockmen demanding wages instead of rations.
