Sinopsis

The remains of Mungo Lady, Mungo Man and 106 other ancient Aboriginal people will be reburied in the Willandra Lakes region of NSW following approval by the federal environment minister. Some traditional owners say the reburial decision disrespects the original vision of local elders, and scientists are concerned that the chance to deeply understand Aboriginal life during the Ice Age will be lost forever, Guests: Michael Westaway, biological anthropologist and archaeologist, University of Queensland Michael Young, Barkindji man and former member of the Willandra Aboriginal Advisory Group.
