AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The epic songline of Wati Ngin̲t̲aka, the giant perentie lizard man, is a map for survival that is relevant today. He first sang his song as he travelled the An̲angu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, creating waterholes and food sources that An̲angu rely on today. Those who follow the song know where to find water and food across a vast area of the South Australian desert. ' (Source: Publisher's website)
