Description

In October 2005 we attended a meeting called to discuss regional economic development at a homeland settlement in eastern Arnhem Land. We will call it 'X'. It is the largest of the region's homelands or outstations, with a stable population of well over 100 Yolngu people. At the meeting were Yolngu from X and nearby outstations, together with public servants representing several departments of the Commonwealth and Northern Territory governments. The Yolngu considered the meeting important and had prepared carefully for it; 'government', it seemed, was at last responding in a coordinated way to the need, articulated by the Yolngu themselves, for a sustainable regional economy. As is an established convention, the visitors were greeted with a welcoming ceremony. They were seated under the shade of an open shelter roofed with palm leaves. The singers gathered outside the entrance. Accompanied by yidaki (didgeridoo) and clap sticks, they sang powerfully. They moved forward in unison, the sound swelling as they came into the shelter, building to a crescendo with a rippling of clap sticks.
