Abstract | The Yolngu people of Australia's Northern Territory trace their lineage through places in the land and water. Movements of currents represent movements of clans over time. Patterns of sound and design are associated with particular groups and with body parts. These essences are conveyed in ritual songs that are crucial ways of knowing oneself and invoking ancestral power. Analysis of Yolngu sea cosmology has substantiated Native land claims. (TD) |
