ICTV Indigenous Community Television Limited

Showing our way....

"ICTV is good for us because we see pictures and learn about our culture. And kids love it too. They want that ICTV to come back because in that ICTV we got a lot of stories, traditional stories from the bush, so we can learn and the kids can learn too.  There's early day pictures, we want to keep it and watch it so the children can get to see their grandparents and know their families, important memories in there too."
