Gunygulu Yunupingu. Yolngu culture in north-east Arnhem Land — a
heartland of Aboriginal culture and land rights — is among the
oldest living cultures on earth, stretching back more than 40,000
years. The Garma Festival is a celebration of the Yolngu cultural
inheritance. The Garma ceremony is aimed at sharing knowledge and
culture, and opening people’s hearts to the message of the land at
Gulkula. The site at Gulkula has profound meaning for Yolngu. Set in
a stringybark forest with views to the Gulf of Carpentaria, Gulkula
is where the ancestor Ganbulabula brought the yidaki (didjeridu)
into being among the Gumatj people. The festival is designed to
encourage the practice, preservation and maintenance of traditional
dance (bunggul), song (manikay), art and ceremony on Yolngu lands in
Northeast Arnhem Land. |
