2009-10-25 Caring for the Soul of the Country
Author: ABC Radio National
Sun, Oct 25, 2009
The sound of the digeridu, or Yidaki as it's known in North East Arnhem Land, has been adopted as a symbolic part of Australian culture.
But how well do non-Indigenous Australians understand the spirituality of traditional Aboriginal music and its centrality to wellbeing?
This Encounter travels from Darwin to North East Arnhem Land to attend the 10th Garma Festival of Traditional Culture. Held in Yolgnu country on the Gove Peninsula, it draws together over 1,000 people to watch, perform and celebrate traditional culture.
Caring for the Soul of the Country examines the idea of cultural practice as central to wellbeing -- spiritual, social and physical.
It looks in particular at ceremony -- a sacred crucible of the broader practice of 'caring for country' -- as vaccination against illness of the spirit and of the body.
And it asks if a clearer understanding of the centrality of 'caring for country' might affect government policy on social provisions for Aboriginal communities.
Note: The music in this program was performed by singers from the Gumatj, Maugn, Anindilyakwa and Kuninjku clans.
