In this project, Eloise Olive guided her father through the discovery of his Aboriginal heritage in a series of sessions about the culture and history of his ancestors, and through his painting a didgeridoo with artwork of his own design.

Sessions include a visit to a bora ring at Minjungbal, sessions about Aboriginal spirituality in relation to the land and the Dreaming, terra nullius, Aboriginal resistance, the Commonwealth Government Apology to the Stolen Generations of 2008, Aboriginal health, Olive family history, and a visit to the Gugin Gudubba Aboriginal Land Council.

The material submitted for the project consists of a project logbook, a printed report, a folder of information and original notes by Eloise Olive and her father from each session, and a video of an interview between Eloise Olive and her father.
