Details of Jock Mosquito
About
Jock Mosquito is a Jaru man born and raised on Nicholson Station. He is married to a Gija woman from Turkey Creek. Jock is a strong law man for the Jaru people and is the last respected elder for that region; a keeper of the law and culture. Jock has his own corroborrees for man and for woman. His grandfather taught him these corroborees and he is the only keeper left of these corroborrees. Jock has lived in Warmun for eight years but still goes back to Nicholson (south of Halls Creek on the Territory side) regularly. He works closely with the Regional Council advising on initiatives to improve conditions for Aboriginal people in the Kimberley.
