Yaama Ngunna Baaka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yaama Ngunna Baaka 2019 was a corroboree festival conceived by Bruce Shillingsworth, with a vision of initiating dialog with Elders.[1]
The festival comprised a series of corroborees by the rivers in Walgett, Brewarrina, Bourke, Wilcannia and Menindee.[2] About twelve dance groups participated, and many travelled with them in convoy to each of the corroborees.[1][3]
The corroboree at Wilcania was hosted by the Barkindji. The Barkindji fear their culture, which relates closely to the river, is being destroyed.[4]
The Tal-Kin-Jeri Dance in Australia Group came from Adelaide and performed at the closing night near Menindee.[5]
