Sažetak
The Aboriginal people of North East Arnhem Land, Australia,
are a diverse community speaking several languages,
but united through a kinship system connecting individuals
and clans between two moieties of the Yolngu nation:
the Yirritja and Dhuwa (1,2). Every animate or inanimate
object belongs to either Yirritja or Dhuwa moiety, and both
moieties complement each other in the Yolngu structure.
The history of this Indigenous nation has been one of survival
and resilience, especially during the battle for control
of their ancestral lands and maritime borders that culminated
in the Land Rights Act of the Northern Territory 1977
(3). The Yolngu nation has a history of engaging and negotiating
knowledge landscapes of the ‘Other’, ie, Macassan
traders and Christian Missionaries (3-6), and their ability to
combine traditional and contemporary methods of communication
is embellished in the Yirrkala Bark Petition to
the Australian Parliament to recognize the ownership of
their land (3,6). Here the relatively new technology of the
cold, heavy, steel typewriter was incorporated with the traditional
bark painting to convey complex and intricate stories
of creation, ceremony and law.
