Abstract

Storytelling has been part of the Warlpiri way of life for centuries. Lajamanu Elders have produced this book for young babies and their families.

The ancestral beings, the laws, the land, all connecting with the child to provide the pathway to begin healthy in mind, body and spirit and how to behave into the future, all comes from being smoked as a baby.,
