AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Hitler Ward Katcherelli recorded his story at Bulman in 1991 and when I read it to him at Mt. Catt in May 1995 he added some comments. Hitler is a clever man and a healer who is widely relied on for his skills. He travels widely in the area between Ngukurr, Barunga and Maningrida. Since her recorded these events at Mt. Catt outstation in March 1989 George Jaurdaku has sadly passed away, but Rembarrnga people have said they want his story preserved with the others so that their descendants can read about what happened. George Jangawanga is a renowned painter who lives most of the time at Weemol outstation. He recorded these incidents at Weemol in October 1993. It was read to George and expanded at Weemol in May 1995'. (Source: Publisher's note)
