	What the Warlpiri Aborigines believe about the origin of everything
		The Warlpiri use the word ‘tjukurrpa’ to mean ‘dream, dreaming, eternity, or the eternal spirit world.’ They add the suffix ‘-warnu’ to give a word its ultimate or superlative meaning; its highest or supreme characteristic.
		When we spoke to the Warlpiri of the Great Spirit, whom we called God, as the One who made everything, the Creator, we were talking of things they could understand, because it was not foreign to their cultural understanding.
		We were bringing to the Warlpiri the fuller revelation of the One whom they called Tjukurrpawarnu, the Most High God, the Creator Being, and saying that He was interested in them and had sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Saviour of the world.

		The Warlpiri language is spoken by the Warlpiri Aboriginal community in the central desert region of Australia, and is also known as WALBIRI, ELPIRA, ILPARA, WAILBRI and WALPIRI.
		Warlpiri Sign Language is a sign language used by the Warlpiri, an Aboriginal community in the central desert region of Australia.
		As a result, it is typical for Warlpiri women to have a better command of the sign language than men, and among older women at Yuendumu, Warlpiri Sign Language is in constant use, whether they are under a speech ban or not.

		Their submissions about Warlpiri distress, to the Federal Minister of the Interior, the Administrator of the Northern Territory and the Chief Protector of Aboriginals (whose office was renamed Director of Native Affairs in 1939), helped eventually to persuade the federal government to open the Yuendumu ration depot and mission in 1946.
		In the second, the Warlpiri, in order to be protected from one particular pastoralist, had to be induced to speak, to articulate a certain experience of oppression, as evidence in court.
		The failure of the NAB to 'realise' in Court the Warlpiri knowledge of Braitling may not have decided the issue of where the mission/settlement for Ngalia Warlpiri was to be located, but it does serve to illustrate the political character of the conditions in which such realisations are attempted.

	Warlpiri_Sign_Language - The Wordbook Encyclopedia
		While many neighbouring language groups such as Arrernte and the Western Desert Language have auxiliary sign languages, Warlpiri Sign Language, along with Warumungu Sign Language, appears to be the most well developed and widely used - it is as complete a system of communication as spoken Warlpiri.
		In Warlpiri communities, widows also tend to live away from their families, with other widows or young single women.
		British linguist Adam Kendon (1988) argues that Warlpiri Sign Language is best understood as a manual representation of the spoken Warlpiri language (a "Manually Coded Language"), rather than a separate language; individual signs represent morphemes from spoken Warlpiri, which are expressed in the same word order as the spoken language.

	"Australian Aboriginal Sign Language and Australian Deaf Sign Language - A Comparison" by Samantha Madell - copyright ...
		In contrast “Warlpiri hand talk”, an alternate sign language, was developed by native speakers of Warlpiri as an alternative to speech, for use particularly during times of mourning or in connection with male initiation ceremonies, where silence must be observed (Kendon, 1988).
		So, it stands to reason that Warlpiri speakers come to understand the world as it is described and explained through Warlpiri speech, and it follows that an alternate language within that culture - one learnt after speech - would follow those speech patterns that seem natural to native speakers.
		In marked contrast, in Warlpiri Sign, “the head, and especially the face, is rarely used in actions that are integral to the language system”, but rather resemble ordinary facial expressions used in spoken discourse (Kendon, 1988: 111).

		Data is collected from male and female speakers of varying ages and using a range of speech styles.
		If practicable, a number of utterances are also synthesised on the computer to change the "pitch" contour and then played to suitable consultants to see how the pitch changes cause a change in their response to and/or perception of each.
		The data is then analysed to produce a model of Warlpiri intonation which includes comparisons between different types of utterances and between the speakers' gender, age group and community affiliation.

		The program was developed at the request of the Warlpiri people who were concerned that their language, like many other Indigenous Australian languages, would die out.
		Dr Nicholls and the Warlpiri team of assistant teachers, literacy workers, and volunteers from the community decided to begin by creating Warlpiri books for the preschoolers before moving on to more lengthy and difficult books for older children.
		She combined the format with a narrative which used animals familiar to the Warlpiri children - goannas, kangaroos, wallabies, and the roaming feral goats, donkeys and pigs.

		Elders of the affected Aboriginal communities, such as the Warlpiri at Yuendumu, 250 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs, are threatening to boycott the schools in protest.
		One very young Warlpiri mother, still in her teens, whose child was in the class, and who was holding her newborn baby, was trying valiantly to hold the fort.
		This is pertinent to the entire debate about bilingual education, as when these Warlpiri children come to school, most of them speak only their own language, and either no English, or very little English.

	Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Website: HR and Rural Education
		There are schools in the Warlpiri-speaking area that have, virtually on their own bat, banded together to do development of bilingual teaching approaches to different areas of the curriculum, not only the teaching of language itself.
		For example, there's been a whole series of workshops done on the teaching of maths within a bilingual framework; for example, how to use the Warlpiri language and Warlpiri worldview as an adjunct to the teaching of mathematics and in fact what areas of mathematics aren't open to Warlpiri concepts.
		I think the Warlpiri Triangle has done a lot of useful work in curriculum and development but, more importantly, it's established a sort of a regional entity for the teachers so that they feel like they're not battling it out day after day in the classrooms, with no-one else sharing their situation.

		Meggitt was a meticulous researcher whose keen interest in Warlpiri ceremonial life lead him to record in detail the complex interlinkages of Warlpiri kinship and cosmology, the inalienable relationships of groups of persons with specific tracts of country through Jukurrpa, the law.
		Providing coloured wax crayons and soft card, Meggitt encouraged his (predominantly male) Warlpiri interlocutors to put down on paper some of the symbolism of their ceremonial knowledge to illustrate points in ancestral narratives.
		Jungarrayi was one of five senior Warlpiri men who painted the Yuendumu school doors in 1983-84, an event widely associated with the birth of the Yuendumu art movement.

	NYU Department of Linguistics: Colloquia Series Spring 2003
		All previous analyses maintain that Warlpiri, and other "non-configurational" languages, lacks the standard projection of noun phrases into argument position.
		This talk adds to an alternative approach I have been developing, whereby noun phrases in Warlpiri are merged into argument position, and "non-configurational" properties are given configurational explanations.
		I will show that Warlpiri null anaphora is Chinese-style topic drop, and present a new "split absolutive" analysis of ergativity.

		She was born in the area called Mina Mina in the early '50s and grew up at Mina Mina and in the settlement town of Yuendumu where her father is still a senior lawgiver.
		Mina Mina is significant to Warlpiri speakers as the place where digging sticks emerged from the ground and were taken up by women ancestors who danced with them across the land creating life forms and features of the land as they went.

		Painting on canvas became both a reassertion of time-honored cultural values and a reaffirmation of links to traditional lands, from which the Warlpiri had been cut off during an era of coerced settlement and forcible assimilation.
		For the Warlpiri, who have no written language, paintings now serve as cultural documents, encoding personal history, connection to country, and deeply felt spiritual beliefs.
		Painting is a contemporary way of recording and passing on Warlpiri culture to future generations.

	Syndal Baptist Church Central Australia
		My experience has almost exclusively been with the Warlpiri people, and although at times I may make references to the wider indigenous scene, the validity of my observations must primarily rest on my several years association with the Warlpiri people, and my ability to correctly assess these matters.
		From our Aboriginal brothers and sisters we can realise afresh that as we are involved in incarnation, reconciliation and love we are not simply doing what is expected of us and obeying God’s rules, but we are in fact participating with God as he continues to give himself to his creation.
		In our many years of working with the Warlpiris, I have not experienced divisions and splits in our Aboriginal Baptist Churches, and I think that this is because the bottom line is being right relationally rather than being right legally, or doctrinally (Mark 12:28-31, Romans 13:8ff).
