"... A new commitment to education is galvanising this year's festival among the Yolngu in Arnhem Land....
 
In the wider nation, it is the time when the country decides its future course. And at the tip of Arnhem Land, Aboriginal leaders are doing the same, seeking to craft a degree of autonomy."

100618     Gali Yalkarriwuy's morning star on the rise…

"The Yolngu believe that their bifurcated cosmos was given form as the result of the passage of two ancestral beings: the Djang'kawu sisters, who travelled from the seacoast, moving east to west. The banumbirr ceremony belongs to the Dhuwa moiety, and its songs link widely separated sites and clan groups connected by the arc of the morning star."
