  • "The Djungguwan is one of the most important ceremonies of the Yolngu people of Northeast Arnhem Land. It tells the epic story of the Wawilak Sisters, two ancestral beings who helped create the Yolngu universe and gave the people their law. It is an initiation ceremony bringing young boys into that law and teaching them discipline and respect. It is also a memorial to the dead."
