This book tells the Alawa, Marra and Warrndarrang story of plant and animal knowledge. This knowledge is ancient, detailed and complex. It has been part of the north Australian landscape for thousands of generations. Keeping this knowledge strong is a key responsibility of Alawa, Marra and Warndarrang Elders.
