The leader of the group, Minygululu, tells the young Dayindi (Jamie Gulpilil) a story about another young man even further back in time who, like Dayindi, coveted his elder brother's youngest wife. The sequences featuring Dayindi and the hunt are in black and white, while shots set in distant past are in colour. All protagonists speak in indigenous languages of the <a href="/wiki/Yol%C5%8Bu_Matha" class="mw-redirect" title="Yolŋu Matha">Yolŋu Matha</a> language group, with subtitles. The film is narrated in English by <a href="/wiki/David_Gulpilil" title="David Gulpilil">David Gulpilil</a>, although versions of the film without narration, and featuring narration in Yolŋu Matha, are also available. </p><p>Minygululu tells a story of the warrior Ridjimiraril, who suspects a visiting stranger of kidnapping his second wife. In a case of mistaken identity, Ridjimiraril kills a member of a neighbouring tribe. To prevent all-out war, tribal laws dictate that the offending tribe allow the offender to be speared from a distance by individuals of the tribe of the slain man. The offender is allowed to be accompanied by a companion, and in this instance he takes his younger brother, Yeeralparil. Whenever one of the two is hit, the spear-throwers will stop, and justice will have been served. Ridjimiraril is hit and mortally wounded but survives long enough to return to his camp, where he is tended to by his eldest wife. When he knows he is dying he performs a ritual dance and once dead his hair is cut and his body is painted to enable the ancestral spirits to guide him to the next world. </p><p>The elder brother's kidnapped second wife then finds her way back to the camp. She reveals that she had been kidnapped by a different tribe, much farther away and had taken this long to return. She mourns her lost husband, who had attacked the wrong tribe, though now she and the elder wife take his younger brother as their new husband. The younger brother, who was only interested in the youngest of the three wives, now has to care for all of them, and satisfying their many demands is clearly going to be much more than he wished. </p><p>Minygululu tells this story in the hope that Dayindi learns of the added responsibilities of a husband and elder statesman in the tribe, and in the end we see Dayindi withdrawing from his pursuit of Minygululu's young wife. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ten_Canoes&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The actors and actresses, mostly from <a href="/wiki/Ramingining,_Northern_Territory" title="Ramingining, Northern Territory">Ramingining</a> in East <a href="/wiki/Arnhem_Land" title="Arnhem Land">Arnhem Land</a>, speak various dialects of the <a href="/wiki/Yolngu_Matha" class="mw-redirect" title="Yolngu Matha">Yolngu Matha</a> language family.
