The Gandji (Jabiru) comes from the Dhuwa Moiety.

It hunts for stingrays along the coastal beaches and also for fish in swamps and billabongs.

Yolŋu people have many totems that come from two Moiety groups, from the Dhuwa side & the Yirritja side.

They are mentioned in our songlines, about where it comes from and from where it travels from, to where its journey ends. We dance to imitate the animals walk, stance, flight and how it caws or makes a sound etc.
