Song propelled Morris Stuart from his early life shepherding sheep in British Guyana to an unlikely love story in London. In his retirement, he found himself shaping a choir of Central Australian Aboriginal women, who had been breathing life into 138-year-old Lutheran hymns.Morris Stuart met his Australian wife, Barbara in London in the 1960s.The pair led a youth group attached to a nearby church, and initially tried to ignore their growing feelings for each other.Morris was a young, Guyanese activist who was descended from African slaves, and wasn't ready to face the social reality of marrying across racial lines.Morris and Barb fell in love and married several years before the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? was released, and featured at several screenings in London, where community members could ask them questions as a real life, interracial couple.The couple went on to have four children and moved to Australia, where Morris became a pastor with a community church in Melbourne.In their retirement, Morris and Barbara developed relationships with the Warlpiri community in Central Australia. They arrived in Alice Springs in 2005 and Morris started recruiting for a choir.More Indigenous communities started joining in and Morris formed the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's choir.They performed hymns brought by German Lutheran missionaries to the region in the late 19th Century, which were translated into Pitjantjatjara and Western Arrernte.The choir's biggest achievement is a tour to Germany in 2015 — to perform the hymns that had all but vanished from use in Germany, but have been preserved in the Central Australian desert for 138 years.Follow the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir on Facebook.Watch the documentary about the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir tour to Germany, The Song Keepers. This episode of Conversations touches on heritage, epic life story, origin stories, church, personal stories, childhood and reflection.

Police are everywhere in Alice Springs. You see them driving pursuit vehicles and caged vans on the streets, or stationed outside the bottle shop checking IDs. But more police doesn't mean less crime – it just means more people are getting locked up. As Alice Springs reels from the police shooting of Warlpiri teenager Kumanjayi Walker, and in the wake of an apology from the Northern Territory Police Commissioner Michael Murphy for systemic racism, Daniel James wants to find out whether it's possible to mend the broken relationship between the coppers and the Indigenous community. In the second episode of our three part series, Daniel visits the police headquarters to meet the Arrernte woman tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in Alice Springs – to fix the culture inside the police force.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram

Mokuhanga has the ability to take the artist or craftsperson anywhere they would like to be. From the subject matter in their studio to physical movement around the world, teaching, exploring, and discovering. Wonder and beauty is what makes mokuhanga so special.   In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with printmaker Jacqueline Gribbin, who has spent years honing her craft in mokuhanga and other printmaking techniques across Japan, Southeast Asia, and Australia. We discuss her deep connection with Indigenous communities, collaborating with the late Ralph Kiggell, and exploring the nuances of water-based and oil-based mokuhanga. Jaqueline explains her experiences traveling to isolated communities, conducting workshops, and sharing her passion for printmaking. We'll explore her teaching methods, the importance of community in her work, and how she balances creating and selling her prints.   Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Jacqueline Gribbin - website  Shifting Tides (2022) Nagasawa Art Park (MI Lab) Awaji City - Nagasawa Art Park was an artist-in-residence program located in Awaji City, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It was open for 12 years before evolving into MI Lab in 2012. More info, here.    Keiko Kadota (1942-2017) - was the director of Nagasawa Art Park at Awaji City from 1997-2011, and then of MI Lab at Lake Kawaguchi from 2011 until her passing.   Toru Ueba - was a print instructor at Nagasawa Art Park, and was one of Yoonmi's instructors in 2004.   Ralph Kiggell (1960-2022) -  was one of the most important mokuhanga practitioners. Originally from England, Ralph lived and worked in Thailand. Ralph pushed the boundaries of mokuhanga with extremely large pieces, jigsaw carving, and by using fantastic colour. He also worked with the International Mokuhanga Conference to promote mokuhanga around the world. He will be greatly missed. Ralph's work can be found, here. His obituary in The Guardian can be found, here. His interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here.     Orange Flower On Blue    Hiroki Satake - is a mokuhanga printmaker, and instructor based in Japan. He has taught at MI Lab, as well as given demonstrations regarding tool sharpening, around the world. Instagram   赤絵（アンドレ・マルティ「狼よ！」より) (2022) 34.7cm×28.4cm   registration - there are several registration methods in mokuhanga. The traditional method is called the kentō registration, where you carve two notches, straight another an "L." There is also a "floating kentō," which is where the notches are cut in a piece of "L" shaped wood and not on the wood where you are cutting your image, hence "floating." Lastly, there are removable "pins," such as ones made by Ternes Burton.    bokashi - is a mokuhanga technique, where the pigment fades from a heavy colour to a softer, broad colour. Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by  mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable. Below is a fine example of bokashi by Paul Binnie:     The Torii Gate at Miyajima (2009) 37.5 x 26cm sizing paper - at times mokuhanga printmakers will size their paper. Size is made from water, animal glue (rabbit, horse), and alum. What the size does is keep the pigments the artist uses from “bleeding” into the outer edges of the paper. There are many recipes of size, here is one that artist Walter J. Phillips used.   intaglio printing - is a printing method, also called etching, using metal plates such as zinc, and copper, creating “recessed” areas which are printed with ink on the surface of these "recesses.” More info, here. The MET has info, here.     serigraphy - is another word for the art of silk screen printing.

Leading the Conservative Party, Thatcher implemented a series of economic policies known as "Thatcherism," which emphasized deregulation, privatization of state-owned industries, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Her tenure was marked by significant economic transformation, as well as controversial measures that sparked widespread debate and protest.    Tamarind Institute - was originally founded in Los Angeles in 1960 by June Wayne, and is a world renowned center for fine art lithography. Established to revive and sustain the art of lithography, which was in decline in the United States, Tamarind quickly became a leader in the education and promotion of lithographic techniques. In 1970, the institute moved to the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where it continues to thrive as a key institution in the printmaking world. Dedicated to advancing the lithographic arts through rigorous education, collaborative projects, and the production of high-quality prints, the Tamarind Institute's influence extends globally, contributing significantly to the development and appreciation of lithography as a vibrant art form.

Dans un entretien avec Jean Vioulac, nous remarquions que l'anthropologie est devenue peu à peu le refuge de la philosophie anarchiste. Depuis Clastres, Scott, Graeber - renouant avec un courant de dissidence qui commence peut-être avec Rousseau ou Montaigne, mais dont la filiation est plus récemment inscrite en Mauss, Radcliff-Brown, Salhins et même le Levi-Strauss de Tristes tropiques - les anthropologues ne furent que rarement de simples théoriciens en fauteuils, et depuis leurs carnets de notes, avec les concepts autochtones qu'ils rencontraient, en essayant de suivre et d'écouter ce que les Bororos, les Nambikuaras, les Guyakis, les Achuars, les archives des sociétés des collines de l'Asie du sud-est, avaient peut-être à dire du “simple fait de vivre”. C'est aussi par l'anthropologie, entre autre, que les prétentions de l'occident furent une à une disloquées, parce que venaient du dehors des témoins de vérités bien autres, qui, renforcées théoriquement par le contraste avec l'Empire étouffant des maîtres et possesseurs et ses citoyens affadis, n'ont cessé de ventiler d'ondées sensibles le désert halluciné. Hier on accusait les cultures sur abattis-brulis de détruire les forêts, aujourd'hui les maîtres et destructeurs de l'agriculture de chez nous reconnaissent que ces pratiques conjurent les ravages des méga-feux.Barbara Glowczewski ne se dit pas anarchiste, mais sa manière d'appréhender la question de la vie collective, avec ses amis et amies du désert central australien, sa famille et ses proches de Lajamanu, les gens qu'elle est partie connaître et regarder tracer leurs trajectoires-chantées dans les sables d'un désert plus vivant que le notre, et qui ont lié leur destin au sien sans que les parts respectives de ce qui revient au même et à l'autre soient discernables, sans que nous puissions vraiment décréter que ce sont les aborigènes Warlpiri qui pensent comme Deleuze et Guattari ou Deleuze et Guattari qui, grâce à Barbara Glowczewski, qui a été leur amie, pensent avec et comme elles et eux.  L'anarchisme n'a pas besoin de se dire anarchiste ou libertaire. Il ne ferait que refaire du slogan, de l'identité, du marketing. Ce sont des formes de vie fort variées qui l'expriment, et leurs pratiques sont des théories. Lorsque les Warlpiris conçoivent leurs territoires d'existence comme de vastes trajets constellés de noeuds ou d'étapes où, dans les temps reculés, et depuis l'espace virtuel du dessous, des êtres du Rêve (leur totem de patriclan) se sont fossilisés dans des roches et des points d'eau, des arbres ou des crevasses, dont ils et elles sont les gardiens et les gestionnaires, ils et elles proposent des formes d'habitation du monde, qui peuvent servir de point d'Archimède, à des luttes pour leurs terres colonisées, de puissances tactiques qui prennent corps à partir d'un ailleurs et non pas au coup par coup d'une situation sans issue. Bien entendu, la perfection n'est pas de ce monde. L'hostilité et la hiérarchie peuvent de temps à autre ressurgir. Mais on peut alors se séparer. Devant l'omnicide, écocide, ethnocide, genocide, il y a bien entendu de la vie. Et elle se lève. Non parce qu'elle aurait une force mystique en elle. Mais parce que les gens n'aiment pas être dominés, c'est comme ça, et qu'ils cherchent à ce qu'on leur foute la paix. C'est peut-être le premier axiome de l'anthropologie anarchiste.

This week's episode covers the Yuendumu community-led campaign Karrinjarla Muwajarri - no police guns in remote Aboriginal communities. The campaign emerged in the wake of the 2022 Northern Territory budget announcement re-affirming a government commitment to resourcing police instead of vital community services, and after the acquittal of an NT police officer over the 2019 death of Warlpiri teenager Kumanjayi Walker. The campaign also addresses the need to restore self-determination and self-governance in remote Aboriginal communities on the 15th anniversary of the NT Intervention, which is scheduled to end this year. A national day of action was called on the 18th of June, and today's show features excerpts from speeches given at the Mparntwe Alice Springs rally by Sabella Turner (Central Arrernte Nation), Valerie Martin (Warlpiri Nation), Barbara Shaw (Arrernte Nation) and Kumalie Riley (Arrernte Nation).You can read the Karrinjarla Muwajarri statement of demands here. More information about the work of the Intervention Rollback Action Group is available here.This show was produced in collaboration with Ethyl Ephedrine, slumberkitty and Tin Pickle from the Punk Tree Hour show on 8CCC Community Radio Alice Springs and Tennant Creek.

“For generations my family wanted to conceal their Aboriginal roots. Our darker complexions, I was told, harkened back to Spanish sailor shipwrecked near Scotland, or invading Moors…The lie was only a few generations back, but it took me almost twenty years to uncover”.

She has two published poetry collections, The Myrrh-Bearers (Sydney: Puncher & Wattmann, 2015) and The Lumen Seed (New York: Daylight Books, 2017). Judith founded the poetry reading series at Manning Clark House and is currently poetry editor for The Canberra Times. Much of Judith's writing is centered around the experience of searching for her Bpangerang ancestry, and her long-term friendship with Warlpiri people.

Luke Grants speaks to Jacinta Price, Warlpiri woman & Alice Springs Deputy Mayor, who won the Country Liberal Party's top-of-the-ticket senate nomination in the Northern Territory on Saturday.   Defeating the incumbent and new Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce's favoured contender, sitting Senator Sam McMahon, Ms Price is currently the Alice Springs Deputy Mayor and daughter of former CLP minister Bess Price.   The decision by the CLP to opt for Ms Price comes after a week of controversy for Senator McMahon, who has been the centre of drinking allegations and claims of a toxic office environment.   Ms Price has declared she wanted to fight for all Northern Territorians and particularly marginalised Aboriginal women and children, although she faced resistance from within the Coalition to her bid to be elected to the Senate.

This week Clair brings you an interview with Dr Yasmine Musharbash! Dr. Yasmine Musharbash is a senior lecturer at the School of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Australian National University. Her fieldwork is based in central Australia, and primarily centred on the Yuendumu, an Aboriginal community about three hours northwest of Alice Springs. Over the years, her research has branched out in an impressive variety of directions, including social relations and personhood of the Warlpiri people, the anthropology of sleep and night, the Anthropology of Emotions, Embodiment, Boredom Studies, death and grieving, and so on. Today, we are talking about Yasmine's research on monster anthropology, which has blossomed into an on-going inter-disciplinary and comparative project that brings together anthropology and monster studies. Her key publications on the subject include two edited volumes Monster Anthropology: Ethnographic Explorations of Transforming Social Worlds Through Monsters (2020 Bloomsbury w/ Dr. Geir Henning Presterudstuen) and Monster Anthropology in Australasia and Beyond (2014 Palgrave Macmillan, w/ Dr. Geir Henning Presterudstuen) In this episode, we explore the different ways in which the Aboriginal people live with the monsters that haunt them, in particular in instances of social change and transformation. We first delve into the elementary instability of the term monster, such as how the monstrous bodies rupture classification, transgressing the otherwise clear-cut boundary between taxonomies and how monsters are contingent on the humans they haunt, combining the temporal and spatial perspectives. Yasmine then compares and contrasts monster studies versus monster anthropology, before drawing on her fieldwork to investigate how one monster, that cannot be named, morphs and changes alongside the settler colonial state that has been inflicting trauma onto the Aboriginal peoples. We then explore how a more well-known monster, “Pankarlangu”, has adapted to the broader processes of climate change and colonialism, and how the Aboriginal people haunted by it perceive such a transformation. We finally discuss the appropriation of Aboriginal monsters, the clash between different ontologies in fieldwork, and how pandemics and apocalypses may impact on monsters in the Aboriginal country.

Perspective is a podcast created by Cécile Lombardie and dedicated to the exploration of the esthetics and semantics of the photographic medium.     ----   It's with great pleasure that I release my first episode in English, a conversation with British artist Patrick Waterhouse and Dutch gallerist Jasper Bode about "Restricted Images", the series they will be presenting at salon Approche.   By questioning the contradictions in the construction of History, Patrick Waterhouse engages in a revision process of the colonial representations of the Warlpiri, communities living in Central Australia.   These indigenous Australians first came to the attention of a European audience with the publication in 1899 of a book that became a pioneer in the anthropology and ethnography field: The Native Tribes of Central Australia. At that time,  both the authors and wider society were oblivious to the invasion of privacy these images inflicted upon them, infringing upon their cultural beliefs.    In order to symbolically return to these communities agency over their own images, Patrick Waterhouse collaborated with Warlpiri artists and invited them to add to the surfaces of the images using the traditional technique of dot painting.    To discuss the work of an artist that shifts the role of those who made History by an intense collaborative approach to the photographic process, you will also hear Jasper Bode, cofounder of The Ravestijn Gallery (Amsterdam, NL), a gallery that focuses on inquisitive and provocative approaches to contemporary photography.    ----   Patrick Waterhouse : Website : https://patrickwaterhouse.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/patrick_waterhouse/   ----   The Ravestijn Gallery :  Website : https://www.theravestijngallery.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/theravestijngallery/   ----   Join us!  Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/perspectivepod.cast/ Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5fcFy0j4wyS3Z-XreV_R9Q

We know that bad reporting can lead to bad policy and this can adversely affect the lives of First Nations people.So far in this series, we've heard how the Australian mainstream media has failed to connect with Aboriginal communities. But for Aboriginal journalists deeply embedded in their communities, it's a completely different story.In this episode, we're looking to independent black media, to hear what Aboriginal journalists can teach us about the stories told around sovereignty and self determination and how we can support Black media.*Please be advised this podcast contains discussions about topics some listeners may find distressing. You can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14*.Chaired by Bhuva Narayan from the University of Technology Sydney, this discussion features Madeline Hayman-Reber a Gomeroi woman, freelance journalist and Media Advisor to Senator Lidia Thorpe, Rachael Hocking, Warlpiri woman and NITV journalist and co-host of The Point, and Associate Professor Tanja Dreher from UNSW, an expert in settler listening.This podcast is inspired by the book 'Does the Media Fail Aboriginal Political Aspirations: 45 years of news media reporting of key political moments' by Amy Thomas, Heidi Norman and Andrew Jakubowicz from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at UTS.The Black Stories Matter podcast was made with the support of Aboriginal Affairs New South Wales as part of a strategy to improve the dynamics between Aboriginal people and governments.

"To know that young, promising journalists have not returned to the industry because of racism is a blight all of us should be ashamed of. It's time for systemic change – and for organisations like ours to own up to it, and do something about it.” Rachael Hocking's powerful monologue last month on NITV's The Point about racism in news media made serious waves. We chat with the Warlpiri woman and journalist about speaking truth to power on the very platform that you're critiquing, the current unprecedented reckoning with racism in media, and the importance of self-care, particularly as an Aboriginal reporter covering the Black Lives Matter movement.

Kyah gave birth to Sammy at the Alice Springs hospital. Kyah received care from this hospital during her birth but not throughout her pregnancy, as Sammy was an unexpected pregnancy. Kyah experienced what felt like intense period cramps and told her mum that she needed her to take her to the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, Kyah was admitted and informed that she was in labour. This was unexpected and at the time it was a shock. Whilst coming to terms with being in labour, she heard her daughters heart beat over the monitor, for the first time. Her labour wasn't long and around 4am Kyah saw her daughter Sammy for the first time. In this interview Kyah shares how she hasn't always been open about her unexpected pregnancy and birth, but she hopes that through sharing her story she can break the stigma and encourage other women to openly share their stories too. During labour Kyah was supported by her mum, who inspired her to draw upon her strength and supported her through early breastfeeding. Kyah stayed in hospital for a few days, receiving support from the staff. After discharge Kyah and Sammy moved in with Kyah's mum and sister. Kyah realised that on this new life journey into motherhood she needed some space and applied to the mother and baby home in Alice Springs to receive accommodation and support. In this interview Kyah shares how this space helps support pregnant women and mothers of infants in Alice Springs and how this organisation also helped Kyah and Sammy find their own home together. Kyah and Sammy now live in their own place in the centre of Alice Springs. Kyah celebrates their life together via Instagram, sharing frequent updates about Sammy's life through photos, stories and posts. The world's their oyster and it all started with Kyah's rural birth. Kyah shared that Sammy has taught her so much about herself and motherhood and that she is excited for what's ahead. You can connect with Kyah and Sammy on instagram @itskyahwalker @baby.samsam

Michael is joined by Jacinta Price, Warlpiri woman & Alice Springs Town Councillor, who has slammed Black Lives Matter protesters as ignorant 'narcissists' who don't understand indigenous problems.   Ms Price argues that more Aboriginal people die outside of police custody than within it, with the majority of Aboriginal people killed and maimed by other Aboriginal people.   But because the violence is out of sight, out of mind, protesters don't care, she says.

Since 2011, Australian poet, writer and photographer Judith Nangala Crispin has spent part of each year living and working with Warlpiri people in the Northern Australian Tanami desert. Her work centres on the concept of connection with "Country" and includes themes of displacement and reflection on her own lost Aboriginal ancestry. Her exhibition "Unseen - The Dingo's Noctuary", features at this year's Auckland Festival of Photography. It will be outside on lightboxes near the Ellen Melville Centre. It includes images of roadkill and other dead animals made using a camera-less technique she calls "Lumachrome glass printing". She'll also be giving two talks via Zoom at 5pm Thursday 28 May, and 11am Sunday 31 May. 'Talking Culture: Judith Crispin'

The Coniston Massacre is the name given to the officially-sanctioned murder of hundreds of Indigenous people of the Warlpiri, Anmatyerre, and Kaytetye tribes, committed by Northern Territory police and landowners in 1928.The massacre was motivated, ostensibly, by the murder of Fred Brooks, a white station hand who worked at Coniston Station. In retaliation, William George Murray led a series of expeditions in search of Brooks’ murderers. Murray and his party indiscriminately murdered almost every Indigenous man, woman and child they came across. The number of murders in the official record is 31, but the true number of Indigenous people killed in this series of attacks is believed to be around 200.EPISODE NOTES:The Coniston Massacre is one of many atrocities committed against Indigenous peoples by white settlers – atrocities that began on January 26, 1776, and continue in various forms to the present day.Whatever your feelings about Australia Day, it cannot be denied that Australia has a continuing history of violence towards the Indigenous people of Australia. Indigenous people have lived on this land for over 100,000 years, and in the less than 300 years of white settlement, we have destroyed the land, marginalized its first peoples, and placed hundreds of refugees in offshore detention centres. We need to fix these systemic issues, and find a day when all people can celebrate all of the many incredible things that this great Southern land has to offer.To watch the Coniston Film, go here https://rebelfilms.com.au/films/coniston/To read more about the massacre from the Central Land Council, go here https://www.clc.org.au/files/pdf/Making_Peace_with_the_Past.pdfTo read about the Northern Territory police apology for the massacre, go here https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-24/nt-police-apologise-for-state-sanctioned-coniston-massacre/10162850If you like what we do please consider supporting us on PATREONSubscribe to the podcast on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or EMAIL us on murderinthelandofoz@gmail.comwww.thatsnotcanonproductions.com

The National Motor Museum of Australia's Senior Curator, Michelangelo Bolognese, presented on 17 October 'Bush Mechanics: The Exhibition.' In this talk Michelangelo explored the history of the content and development of Bush Mechanics: The Exhibition, based on the incredibly popular ABC TV series of the same name. It shows the adoption of the motorcar as an integral part of Aboriginal life in Central Australia. More than just a showcase of bush ingenuity, the show was a documentary-style series with strong elements of comedy, music and magical realism. The exhibition, developed in close partnership with Pintubi Anmatjere Warlpiri (PAW) Media, shows the ingenuity of the bush mechanics in the context of Warlpiri storytelling, music and art and wider issues (motoring and non-motoring) affecting Aboriginal Australians. The exhibition was displayed at the Torrens Parade Ground as part of the Tarnanthi festival. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series.

Adam Kendon’s in-depth analysis of Australian Indigenous sign languages still remains the most broad-reaching to date (Kendon, 1988), even as steps are being taken to build on the foundations he laid (Adone & Maypilama, 2013; Carew & Green, 2015; Green & Wilkins, 2014). Kendon called these sign languages ‘alternate’, as they are not generally the primary mode of communication but rather are used instead of speech in particular cultural circumstances. Kendon’s fieldwork in the late 1970s and the 1980s in Central Australia generated valuable records of sign used in Warlpiri, Kaytetye, Warumungu, Warlmanpa, Jingulu, Mudburra and Anmatyerr speaking communities. The original 16 mm film and VHS video recordings, housed at AIATSIS, comprise more than 50 hours of archival material. The collection includes metadata with various fields, including spoken language, semantic domain, language sign glosses with English translations, and a phonetic transcription in a unique font that Kendon devised especially for the purpose. There is also a time-code that points to locations in the film media. I discuss some of the steps that can be taken to get the most out of this metadata, link it to the media it refers to, and make this unique collection searchable. This is a first step in forming a comparative corpus of Indigenous sign that combines old and new sources. The format and structure of archival deposits and their delivery to users leads to some steps forward…and some backwards. The lessons learnt also have implications for the ways that structure our contemporary archival collections. The presentation will end with some suggestions for further uses of this material and a bid for collaboration. Adone, D., & Maypilama, E. (2013). A Grammar Sketch of Yolŋu Sign Language.
