This is part 2 of Dha:wu'mirr Dharpa, a story about message sticks by Gumatj elder Andrew Galitju.

Part 1 and 2 of this story shows Galitju making message sticks. Galitju, Yirrirnirnba and Mirarra' provide commentary on how old people used these message sticks before telecommunications, paper, and air travel found their way to Arnhem Land.

For those interested in Yolngu language and culture, additional written comments will be added here in due time, to aid in your understanding of Yolngu grammatical structure as well as to expand your vocabulary.

  • Guan, how is the message communicated by these?. As he raises his gsm to show how Balanda use it to communicate whereas they use message sticks instead. How?
