Aboriginal Ceremonies Central Australia - Ngajakula

Jungarrayi ritual

A man of the Jungarrayi subsection dances with a “kurdiji”, a wooden shield painted with the dreaming design relevant to the song cycle followed during a “Ngajakula” ceremony of the Warlpiri Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. A ceremonial object, painted with the same design, is stuck in the ground and women dance behind him with decorated “kuturu”, fighting sticks.
