Happy father's day! This is Minikini sitting on her father's shoulders during a ceremony on Yermalner/Melville Island in 1954. Itwas taken by Charles Mountford, a well-known anthropologist from South Australia, who travelled widely throughout Central Australia, Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands, capturing moments like this.
