Happy World Puppetry Day! Here is a special message from the President of UNIMA International, Dadi D. Pudumjee! And we are thrilled to celebrate UNIMA's 90th anniversary this year too! ... See MoreSee Less
Amazing puppetry happening in AustraliaYouth from Roebourne District High school have been working hard twisting and turning creations preparing puppets that will eventually help tell dream time stories at the Victoria Hotel when it opens in June this year.
Juluwarlu Aboriginal Corporation would love to see students use the puppets in this years end of year school concert.
Amongst the creatures you will find the Marrga (creation spirits).
Back in the time when the world was soft, the sky was very low. The Sky God Minkala made the Marrga(creation spirits), who were the first beings belonging to this country. The Marrga rose up from the ground and lifted the sky and the earth out of the sea. These tall beings with long limbs and heads moved around the country, creating the environment we see today."
The Marrga, together with Minkala, named and shaped the country, then all the birds and animals, and finally the Ngaardangarli - Aboriginal people came from the Marrga too. At first, Ngaardangarli wre all the same, and spoke only one language. Thay had no responsibility for the land, and no culture or Law...
et al...
...a part of the country was then given to each group of people to sustain them, and for them to care for in return. It was at Gumanha hill that the Yindijibarndi and other nations were awarded the lands they occupy today...
