Culture | ASRAC

Our sacred places connect us and bring us together. The power of the Wongarr is still strong in the landscape.

Through our clans and in our kinship groups we each have the animals that we call malargatji (totems).

We must stand by the system of Rom and Ngarra that will always govern our lives as Yolŋu and Bi.

In the languages of Yolŋu Matha, the foundation of the relationship between country and its people is called Rom.

Stories belong to our languages and our languages belong to our stories.

We are connected to country. We keep culture and language strong wherever our homelands are.
