‘When you look at those sorts of stories, you see the connectivity between all of the elements, between the sky, between the Earth, between the water, between magnificent sacred sites that are in the landscape that connect our people through this ancient wisdom and these ancient stories in song.’ — Dr Anne Poelina, Nyikina Warrwa
Songlines carry the first story of this land. But, with the passing of elders, the knowledge of these songlines is in danger of disappearing.
AIATSIS, through its Foundation, has supported a project to record, map and maintain the ceremony of the Marlaloo songline; a songline that runs from Balginjirr to Marlaloo in Western Australia and covers a significant part of the Martuwarra (Fitzroy River).
