Yeyekerte is a 26 episode magazine series produced by CAAMA Productions and commissioned by National Indigenous Television.

Yeyekerte is a word from the Southern Arrernte Nation and is of the Pertame country (South of Alice Springs). Yeyekerte means Storytelling.

Our series is about people, personalities and places. Each week we meet inspiring individuals and hear about the incredible unsung heroes in all aspects of life. Yeyekerte is about feeling good through our people’s eyes.

Come travel with Yeyekerte across the far horizons of the Australian continent and beyond to capture whats happening in the lives of Indigenous people who don’t often get the chance to tell their stories…

Grounded is a 52 episode youth magazine series produced by CAAMA Productions and commissioned by National Indigenous Television.

Grounded is a variety show for teenage kids that live in community, bush town, or the city; where real people talk about their lives, share their dreams and show you what they’re made of.

Each week our hosts Natasha and Tyrone, in Alice Springs, take us around the nation to catch up with someone new and find out what gets them going, what they love to do, where they live, what they’ve been up to and what makes them tick.

We showcase some great indigenous music and a rising star or two, performers and young heroes covering dance, music, education, work, art, hanging out, sport and of course, culture!

Grounded shows young indigenous viewers that the sky really is the limit to what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. But to get there, you gotta stay “Grounded”!

Directed by Curtis Marriott and produced by Robyn Nardoo.

Pmarra Country is a nine episode country music magazine produced by CAAMA Productions and commissioned by National Indigenous Television .

Hosted by country music legend Warren H Williams, Pmarra Country features Aboriginal musicians who sing country music or sing about their country in their traditional languages.

Each episode includes classics from Warren H and the Western Wind band, guest appearances, regular segments with Gman, guitar lessons with Warren, as well as great clips from indigenous and non-indigenous musicians around our country.

The series takes the viewer on a journey to spend time with some of the greats of Aboriginal Country Music and meet some new talent.

Bush Toys is a whimsical and historical journey into the art of Bush Toy making in the Central Desert of Australia.

Chris Wallace from Santa Teresa (also a lead member in the Ltyentye Apurte Band) creates and sells Bush Toys through Keringke Art Centre – mainly horses and riders but he’s also created helicopters and other stuff with motors. Bush Toys are made from scraps of metal, copper, tobacco and powdered milk tins, old horse shoes, small fragments of fabric and salvaged materials, stripped from car bodies found at rubbish tips. The copper wire is taken from wrecks (wiper, airconditioner motors) and stuffed with mattress foam, covered with surgical tape painted, lacquered and sold.
