BULURRU

​

The BULURRU ancestors " put" things in place, creating all the different varieties of ma: and minya (non-flesh and flesh foods) for the people's sustenance and showing them how to procure them.

​

THEY had the knowledge of how to make weapons, traps, tools, utensils, shelters and so on, the techniques for hunting various types of game and for preparing a diversity of food-stuffs, including some like BADIL the cycad nut and YIWURRA the black bean that are dangerously toxic unless processed correctly. 

​

ANCESTORS endowed the people with a way of life founded on an intimate knowledge of the environment, knowing where to find sustenance at different times of the year. 

​

Following up the country's seasonal resources the DJABUGANYDJI followed in the tracks of their ancestors who had revealed the way to them and established the laws and customs of social life.
