Homeland and Clan
Muuntha is the name given to the homeland, but the people there are from the Binthi-Warra clan group. After white settlement, the Binthi-Warra clan moved off their homeland and into the mission at Hope Vale. When they could, the community would return to the homeland to hunt and gather food. In the 1990s, the land was handed back to the Binthi-Warra clan under Native Title, and the government has since provided funding for the family to build a homestead at Muuntha.
A challenge each wet season
The Traditional Owners, Stephen and Amanda, find it extremely hard to maintain their homeland due to its remote location, far from schools and work opportunities. During the wet season, Muuntha can be cut off for months at a time, and the costs associated with having to maintain the road is often tiring and expensive.
Funding the future
Stephen & Amanda wants to see their homeland used by all generations, especially their little ones who travel for boarding school and other educational opportunities. They also wish to see more visitors come and camp at Muuntha, so they too can learn what it means to live on country.
