Notes

  • Epigraph: Wandjina came from the wind and travelled the land and made this earth, and sea, and the mountains, the rivers, the waterholes, the trees, the plants, the animals, the language, and then the people. Wandjina then gave us the Law to follow and gave us the land. (David Mowaljarlai 1992)
