Songspirals by Gay'wu Group of Women

In this new book, the women share five songspirals, translating them and sharing some of their poetic meanings, but they will not, and cannot, share all their meanings, as some of the layers are too deep and sacred to share. Neither can they share the songs of other clans. They include stories about the family, their mother, the eldest sister Laklak (awarded an honorary doctorate from Macquarie University) and how daughters and granddaughters are keeping the songlines and the knowledge alive. Just read this extraordinary book. Discover for yourself the deep attachment to Country, knowledge, language and the Law that governs Yolŋu lives.
