AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A traditional bilingual story from Areyonga in the Northern Territory. A whimsical account of a young girl who spends all her days chasing willy-willys. One day, the Kupi-Kupi spirits her far away to a waterhole, where she is guarded by a giant watersnake. Her bold rescue by a witchdoctor restores her to her family.'
