What's the purpose of this exercise? Wrapping an aeroplane in an indigenous pattern doesn't give the pattern-maker ownership of transport, but gives Qantas 'ownership' of indigenous patterning/ exotic cultures. This flattens out indigenous knowledges and lifeworlds into a single, knowable and acceptable gloss for the non-indigenous.
