The elder, as she sits and speaks the roles of the murdered, is shattering the administrative silence surrounding the incident at Mowla Bluff. Often in the cases of massacre, the victims are nameless and faceless, the human loss of such tragedy obscured by the absence of information that makes each person special. The listing of roles and names of the murdered Aboriginal people is a remembrance, a giving of names to the nameless. It is the underside of quietness.
