The Screen Guide

The record of a traditional Djangkawu ceremony held at Yirrkala in northeast Arnhem Land. The ceremony was organised by Wndjuk Marika. It was both a memorial to his father, a famous clan leader, and a reaffirmation of the Law of the Djangkawu Creator Ancestors. Throughout the two weeks of the ceremony there is a heavy emphasis on teaching the Law to the younger generation through song and dance.
