Elders speak to children about Djungguwan Law. One Yolngu Elder likens these rules to their Ten Commandments.

Wanyubi Marika from the Rirratjingu clan describes the journey of Laklak and Raymattja – the two Wawilak Sisters.

Bakamumu Marika from the Rirratjingu explains that the Wawilak Sisters are the creators of the Law, which in turn gives the Yolngu their Djungguwan ceremony.

Yolngu ceremony with its combination of sets, props, painting of the body, dance and singing is likened to an operatic experience by anthropologist Professor Howard Morphy.

The Wawilak Sisters myth and their Djungguwan ceremony connects the Yolngu to their land which they believe they have occupied since time immemorial.
