Klappentext

The dramatic ancestral events involving Wititj, the Olive Python, and the two Sisters of the Wagilag clan form the basis of one of the major ceremonial cycles and painting traditions in Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory. The Wagilag Sisters Story tells of the creation of the world and the establishment of rules which govern behaviour, of the encounter between human and animal ancestors, who in the process make sense of their world and its creative forces. Here, accompanying the narrative in paint by artists of Central and Eastern Arnhem Land, the story is also told by its traditional owners and scholars of Aboriginal art.
