Glossary
Dhuwa
In the Yolngu world (and other Aboriginal groups)
there are two
moieties (or halves). Everything is either Dhuwa
or Yirritja. Dhuwa people own Dhuwa places, art,
songs etc but there must always be Yirritja caretakers
for Dhuwa business and vice versa. |

Garma
a
garma is an open public ceremonial site (as distinct
from a site
where sacred business takes place) The idea of garma
has been taken by Yolngu as a metaphor to explain
protocols and philosophies of collaboration, negotiation,
sharing, respect, and due process. The Yirrkala
Community Education Centre developed a mathematic
curriculum based on Garma philosophy. The Yothu
Yindi Foundation (one of our research partners)
holds an annual Garma festival at Gulkula. |

Repatriation
means returning things to
their home. Over many years, stories, names, carvings,
sacred objects, photographs, recordings etc have
been taken from Aboriginal communities. Many communities
are looking for ways to repatriate this material.
Sometimes this involves the return of the object
itself, sometimes it involves returning a copy of
the object (like a photograph or a recording for
example) |
