Aalidja Maali Yok Birrla-Ngat Kor-Iddny - Swan Woman Returns to Her River : An Ancient Noongar Dreamtime Story from Kellerberrin

Humphries, Cliff, author20201202Australian languages
This ancient Noongar Dreamtime story is told in the words of Elder Cliff Humphries, one of the last fluent Noongar speakers in the world. It formed part of his body of work presented in Bennell v. State of Western Australia securing native title for the Noongar nation in 2006. This story was a favourite of Elder Humphries, and contains sacred songs as sung by the Elder. It tells of Kwergan the Crowman and his Maali (black swan) wives, describing the movement of Noongar between maang-art Jam Gum country in the East, Bibbulmun country in the West, and salt-lake country near Kellerberrin. The story is beautifully Illustrated by Elder Humphries' great grandson together with the children at the Perth Waldorf School, under the direction of Elder Cliff Humphries' direct descendants, honouring their father's wishes that the millenia-old stories of the Noongar Bibbulmun, and the language and traditions embedded therein, be shared with all West Australians. A must-read for all those committed to reconciliation and the revival of Noongar language and culture.
