Wangany Dhukarr is a valuable and memorable program designed
to bridge the cultural divide between Yolngu and non-Indigenous people,
enhancing respect through awareness and understanding.
Passionate about improving relationships between mainstream and Yolngu
society, Burarrwanga family members from Bawaka in Port Bradshaw share
their history, customs, language, stories and knowledge of the land in
this two-day immersion program.
Participants will learn about Yolngu traditions, beliefs, kinship systems,
avoidance relationships, clans and skin names. They will gain a greater level of
understanding and respect for the Yolngu people’s culture and lifestyle
by sharing experiences with the Burarrwanga family in a comfortable and relaxing
environment.
It is easy to appreciate Yolngu connections with the land and the sea when
you arrive at picturesque Bawaka in North-East Arnhem Land. It is an idyllic
tropical paradise perched on the edge of the Gulf of Carpentaria, overlooking
pristine white beaches and untouched bushland – the perfect setting for a Yolngu
cultural education program.
Wangany Dhukarr is for people who come into contact with Yolngu people
in their daily work, people whose decisions and policies will affect Yolngu
people, or those with an interest in Yolngu culture.
