“In the Yolnu worldview there are two moieties.
One is Yarritja and the other one is Dhuwa.
They are the two halves of one whole.

and the people is, their connection is through song lines,
stories, from stories to art, art to country
and land - through clans, through totems – everything
in our world is linked.”
