	"Yolngu Boy" directed by Stephen Johnson
		Yolngu culture in north-east Arnhem Land - a heartland of Aboriginal culture and land rights - is among the oldest living cultures on earth, stretching back over 40,000 years.
		It is only since 1935 that the Yolngu people have had sustained contact with the Balanda (Europeans), firstly through Methodist missions, then through contact with service personnel during World War Two and, more recently, with the imposition of multi-national mines on their tribal lands.
		Sean Mununggurr, cast in the pivotal role of Botj, is a Yolngu boy from Gapuwiyak in east Arnhem Land.

	Yolngu Summary
		Yolngu were arguably more warrior-like than other Indigenous Australians because they had had to defend their northern shoreline for many hundreds –- if not thousands –- of years.
		Yolngu lost the case because Australian courts were still bound to follow the terra nullius principle, which did not allow for the recognition of any “prior rights” to land to Indigenous people at the time of colonisation.
		They argue that Yolngu culture is a system of knowledge different in many ways from that of Western culture, and may be broadly described as viewing the world as a related whole rather than as a collection of objects.

	Top End and Arnhem Land - Aboriginal Art Online
		The Yolngu of north east Arnhem Land are amongst the most powerful and culturally committed of Australia's indigenous nations.
		Yolngu came into lasting contact with a belief system which differed from their own when the Methodist missions were established in 1934 at Yirrkala, then on Elcho Island in 1942.
		Socially, Yolngu clans are divided into two interrelated and interdependent groups or moieties, termed Yirritja and Dhuwa, each of which owns quite distinct lands and traces descent from different Original Creative Ancestors.

	Yolngu Boy
		Yolngu Boy (Stephen Johnson, 2000), about the friendship between three adolescent Aboriginal men and the way each relates to the ancient cultural tradition to which they belong, arrives at a time when awareness of Australia's colonial history, in particular, phenomena like the 'Stolen Generation', is considerable.
		In terms of where Yolngu Boy sits within a broader spectrum of the politics of representation, this is encapsulated in the fact that the film does not deal at all with racial conflict.
		Yolngu Boy's story and characters derive from within the Yolngu community, in which white people appear infrequently, and when they do, the filmmakers treat it nonchalantly, for example, when icon Jack Thompson appears it is a completely modest and underplayed moment.

	PART I
		Yolngu Boy is the story of the friendship of three teenage boys who find themselves on a journey from North East Arnhem Land to Darwin, a trek initiated to save one of the boys who is in trouble with the law.
		Yolngu Boy is an adventure, Ultimately it is dramatic and comical, inspiring and uplifting and in general a film that Australians should see due to the fact that it does offer considerable insight into a culture that we know so little about, yet judge so often.
		Yolngu Boy is set in contemporary Arnhem Land and whilst the boys may uphold traditional values, they are still "in the present" as they wear funky clothing, have mobile phones and listen to rock music.

	Determinants of Didjeridu Style in Traditional and Popular Yolngu Song
		In the context of Yolngu didjeridu practice, the most striking aspect of Dhakaliny's style is the use of rapid staccato tonguing on the fundamentals Additionally, Dhakaliny's style is marked at specific points by a complex rhythmic counterpoint to the vocal line and by a generally driving, on-top-of-the-beat rhythmic feel.
		Yolngu usually expe- rience Western pop music as passive listeners, though, on occasion, a young didjeriduist may sit alongside a stereo cassette player improvising rock and roll rhythms in accompaniment to popular music recordings.
		Magowan (1994), in discussing the naming of didjeridus in the Yolngu community at Galiwin'ku, notes that one didjeridu was named for the Olive Python, Wititj, because 'the twisted trunk of the tree was said to resemble the snake's body and the.

	Yolngu
		The Yolngu are an indigenous people inhabiting the Northeastern Arnhemland of Australia.
		Their culture embodies a system of knowledge in many ways different from that of Western culture, one which may be roughly described as viewing the world as a related whole rather than as a collection of objects.
		Yolngu knowledge also places far less importance on number systems than Western knowledge and employs a recursive system of genealogical names, relations, and hierarchies called 'gurrutu' that is used to order and pattern understandings of the world.

		Yolngu fire-sticks were similar to those used in other regions, and used in a similar way, but without the carrying container of Sandbeach people (Warner 1937:495).
		Yolngu used an earth oven for larger game: stones were placed in a fire in a shallow pit, covered with dampened paper-bark or leaves, the meat placed on the bark or leaves, and covered with the same material, andthe whole covered in sand (Warner 1937:495).
		Yolngu people pounded meat with Buchanania obovata (Green Plum) and red ochres to produce a paste that could be stored for some time.

	A failure to confront reality: Yolngu Boy directed by Stephen Johnson, script by Chris Anastassiades
		Stephen Johnson's Yolngu Boy, which centres on a few weeks in the life of three 14-year-old boys, was shot with a cast of non-professional Aboriginal actors and the cooperation of the Yirrkala community in Arnhem Land in Australia's Northern Territory.
		Yolngu is the collective name of the 16 clans that live in North East Arnhem Land, which, according to Johnson, is one of the oldest living cultures in the world.
		While only 2 percent of the Australian population are Aborigines, they compromise 12 percent of the homeless, 19 percent of the prison population, 31 percent of people living in “improvised dwellings,” and 40 percent of all children in “corrective institutions”—most jailed for minor property offenses.

	Inside Indonesia 59 - Trepang
		It was in the villages that the Yolngu were also most curious, as it was in these places that descendants and graves of some trepanger families could still be found.
		For example, the now more strictly Muslim Macassans were initially reluctant to address issues like their introduction of gambling and drinking to Yolngu, while the representation of the abduction of and occasional marriage to Yolngu women that had occurred during many of the trepang expeditions required a delicate and careful approach.
		The Yolngu have a highly developed sense of ensemble movement which was difficult for the Macassans to match.

	Green Left - Cinematic 'survival day' for Yolngu culture
		Cultural continuity and lifting Yolngu (Arnhem Land Aborigines) pride are strong themes of the extraordinary new film Ten Canoes, in which director Rolf de Heer (Bad Boy Bubby, The Tracker) collaborated by invitation with the people of Ramingining (population 800, 16 clans, eight language groups) to create his most ambitious work to date.
		This is his Yolngu way of revealing truth and tribal law to young Dayindi (Jamie Gulpilil), who desires to win over the youngest of Minygululu’s three wives.
		The ways in which the whole process of creating the film impacted on the people of Ramingining is a fascinating saga (visit <http://www.tencanoes.com.au> to learn more) and at least equally as important as the potential impact of the film on Australian audiences generally.

		Besides having that distinction, the Yolngu style has a very distinctly rhythmic feel and breathing techniques that are not commonly found in non-Yolngu playing.
		Outside of Australia, the primary examples of Yolngu music are found in the various field recordings and certain Australian rock groups such as Yothu Yindi.
		With the Yolngu style, cheek breathing is definitely out since it disrupts the flow as needed by the style.

	Working Together: Two Cultures, One Film, Many Canoes
		For the Yolngu participants, it was crucial that characters that are meant to be related in the film should be played by people who have proper kin relations in real life.
		For cultural reasons, however, Yolngu people involved in the film expected Birrinbirrin to have a role, forcing de Heer to invent the comedic part of Birrinbirrin, the old man who is always after honey and eats too much.
		The desire of all involved to tell the story of the ten canoes in a Yolngu way is also reflected in the use of Yolngu languages in the film.
