WEST AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL

Written for people coming to work in the Warburton community; includes geographical and historical background; language (Ngaanyatjarra); etiquette; kinship and marriage; birth and childhood; initiation; death; problems of change.

What is the polite way to approach a Ngaanyatjarra camp? How many seasons are there in the Gnaanyatjarra year? if a Panaka man marries a Tjarurru woman, will their children be Karimarra or Yiparrka? These questions and a host of others are answered in Amee Glass’s Into Another World: A glimpse of the culture of the Aboriginal people of Central Australia.

Into Another World takes you step by step through some important aspects of Ngaanyatjarra culture – language and kinship, good and bad manners, attitudes to birth, childhood, adulthood and death, and the changing world of the Ngaanyatjarra.
