Ngurra-kurlu: A way of working with Warlpiri people

Abstract:

This paper will be of interest to those wanting an introduction to the main themes of Warlpiri culture, whether or not they are working directly with Warlpiri people. It will also be of interest to practitioners working with the Warlpiri. For example, environmental managers will be interested in how ngurra-kurlu is a template for Warlpiri approaches to sustaining country, while educators will be interested in the ways that ngurra-kurlu can link literacy and numeracy to Warlpiri culture and therefore provide a more appealing curriculum for Warlpiri youth.
