7.1: Knowledge and adoption

Merrepen Arts Festival

Ngan’gi language speakers know that when yerrwire (Darwin woollybutt) starts flowering, akerre (the native honey bee) will be attracted to its flowers and soon you will find yerrwire-flavoured fungguli (native honey) in tree hollows, old ant nests and in ground hives… If you know where to look!  Now, this seasonal knowledge has been immortalised in the Ngan’gi Seasons Calendar.
