Yalanji culture informs my knowledge of our traditional stories and lifestyle and I use contemporary means to express my ideas. Kuku Yalanji people feel a deep connection to their traditional lands (Bubu). We find harmony and a place of belonging when out on our Bubu. This is our way of healing. It is our Lore.
Kuku Yalanji Name: Walbul-walbul (Butterfly)
Language Group: Kuku Yalanji and Kuku Nyungkul
Traditional Land: Daintree, Shipton’s Flat and China Camp - Far North Queensland,
Australia Totem: Black & White Cockatoo
