Juukan Gorge traditional owners 'appalled' by attempted sale of unauthorised photos
The traditional owners of Juukan Gorge say they are “appalled” that unauthorised photos showing the destruction of two sacred sites have been offered for sale, saying the images are “profiteering from our anguish”.
The photographs, seen by Guardian Australia, were taken in early July about six weeks after mining company Rio Tinto detonated explosives above two ancient rock shelters, one of which had been occupied by the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura (PKKP) peoples for more than 46,000 years and was deemed to be of the highest archeological significance in Australia.
