This book explores an Aboriginal lifestyle through its words.For many thousands of years the Yidiny language was spoken by the Aborigines of the Cairns-Atherton Tablelands region. Today the people and the words are all but extinct. Here, in tracking this sophisticated language, linguist R.M.W. (Bob) Dixon records its last speakers.The language and way of life are illustrated by twenty-four stories in both Yidiny and English translation. Aboriginal place names are listed along with their origins, and the book includes a clearly organised vocabulary of words, and Yidiny and English indexes.The vocabulary is ordered into fields of meaning (such as parts of the body, kin terms, animals, and verbs of motion) and is cross-referenced to specific words in the story section.The book provides vital information on the history of the region, dialect differences and the extraordinary "mother-in-law" language which distinguished this ancient and rich culture.
A story from the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji First Nation people from Cairns, Australia about finding one's place in the world. This is the story of poor Cassowary, who was laughed at by the other animals because he could not fly. Avoiding the shaming taunts, Cassowary hides through the day, coming to the waterhole in the evening to bathe. One day, fleeing his tormentors, Cassowary runs into a large rock, part of which remains embedded in this head. When the kind Seahawk comes upon Cassowary he listens to the sad tale, encouraging the poor bird, and recognising his unique skills. Later when Seahawk asks for Cassowary's urgent help, he flies into action and saves the day.
