00:37A dark time in Butchula history
00:50Takiwuru, a volcanic rocky headland on the east coast of Guri Island
00:57Where Butchula people watched Captain Cook in 1770 sail by the land
01:03They gazed at his ship and Captain Cook saw them looking
01:08That's why he named it Indian Head
01:23Guri Island, an island of shifting sands
01:29Takiwuru over the ocean it stands
01:33A large volcanic outcrop made a rocket rises high
01:38Where Butchula people can look out over the sea with their eyes
01:44A vantage spot for Butchula to spot schools of fish to hunt
01:50Sharks, stingrays, turtles and whales condari
01:53A gathering place to gaze out over the ocean
01:59A place where Wangari dingo roam

02:15Captain Walker and some native police drove Butchula
02:20To the top end of Takiwuru, high above the water
02:26Butchula jumped to their deaths while others were slaughtered
02:31Their spirits remain there in the ocean water

02:41As a spiritual place to look out over water
02:46As a place where Butchula spirits still roam

03:23Removed to a northern mainland place
