Ngurra-kurlu :
Ngurra-kurlu design represents the five elements of Warlpiri culture: land, law, language, ceremony, skin (information extracted from a documentary made by Warlpiri filmmakers and available on You Tube); presents Warlpiri philosophy, in a written form to make it accessible to non Warlpiri people; central theme of paper is that, when supported, Ngurra-kurlu promotes the healthy functioning of Warlpiri people and Warlpiri country - it is about relationships, engagements and belonging; promoting Ngurra-kurlu does not mean a return to historical times, but about mainstreaming core Warlpiri values whether living in the bush or in the community; explores the elements of ngurra-kurlu and their interrelationships and explains that it can provide a clear direction for the future of Warlpiri people for the benefit of all Australians.
