I can hear Indigenous voices / singing on this track. I wonder if those people are credited in the recording…

I admire your fight. I suspect Peter Gabriel feels pretty strongly as well or he wouldn't have lent his name to it. Colonialism remains a problem.

I have mixed feelings when ever references to this movie and Peter Gabriel's soundtrack come up.
The Yeud people are the traditional inhabitants of this area where I live, close to Moore River Western Australia where the story is set.
There is a sacred hill site of the Yeud's not 200 hundred metres from my door.
Currently we locals are contesting with the national telco's to not erect a phone tower on the site out of respect for the Yeud .

The movie "The Rabbit Proof Fence" is a hard look at Australia's history of racism, enslavement and attempted genocide of the original inhabitants.

Advance Australia Fair!
I wish Pete did more soundtracks. He's 2 for 2. (We all know Birdy doesn't count)

My favorite cut on this album is "Running to the Rain." It's truly transcendent.
