Ganbulapula
A Wangarr Story
Publisher Description
This is the story of Ganbulapula, the ceremonial manager, the singing man. This story takes place at Gulkula, for the Matjurr people, whom we now know as fruit bats. As a funeral, this ceremony was one looking to a new future. A healing of the divisions of the past, an affirmation of a collective determination to go on together.
This is also the story of the site of the Garma Festival, told in Yolngu Matha and English.
