Life of an Islander - Woethi - Artist Naseli Tamwoy

A story about talented artist Naseli Tamwoy (an Indigenous Australian) and how his art is connected to his life as an Islander growing up in the Torres Strait Islands.
Naseli shows one of the ways they hunt seafood through spearfishing and makes a simple bamboo pole spear to catch a popular fish in the northern parts of Australia called the coral trout and it's name in their lauguage, Woethi.

@@saltymonkeysbrand no problem, the video is really well done and I loved seeing the home grown spearing techniques. That trout was so good for the hand spear too!

That's the South Barnards - north barnards in background at 0.37, and dunk island and clump mountain in background at 1.40

[@saltymonkeysbrand]

That's correct. We filmed most of the diving at king reef then went to the Islands for some clips.
