Raymaŋgirrbuy dhäwu: When I was a little girl

Kylie Gatjawarraway Mununggurr

Description

A beautiful story of Kylie’s life on her grandmother’s Country, Raymangirr, a remote Yolŋu homeland in North East Arnhem Land in the Top End of Australia.

This is a sweetly told story of the author’s experiences with her grandmother. From watching her grinding ochre and painting in the shade of a tree, to hunting for bush honey (guku) and painting cermonial guku designs on their bodies (special permission was given to Kylie to paint this) and doing the guku dance to full-moon night fishing and cooking up a fish feast on the beach.
