Ŋerrk (Yellow Crested Cockatoo), 2024
$902.00
The Ŋerrk comes from the Yirritja Moiety and is sung of by my Grandmothers clan and mine from the Gumatj clan, and several other Yirritja clan groups that has links with this totem. We also dance and imitate the Ŋerrk on how it caws and cries, flys and lands during its travels.
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.
