Our law and our kinship connect us to our country and everything in it. This knowledge is passed to us down the generations by our old people. Our laws are held in the song cycles, and we dance them and sing them with our families. Each Yolŋu person has a unique role and responsibility that is held in the song cycles and is deeply connected to Country and all that exists in the cosmos. The song cycles teach us about the world and everything in it and how we connect and relate to all those elements. Upholding the law by knowing, understanding and fulfilling our kinship rights and responsibilities is most important to us. Our law is in our Country, and when we hear our songs we learn about how to care for our Country. It is the foundation of our lives and defines our identity. It is these laws and roles that are the basis for Yolŋu Djäkami Wäŋawu who have a special and important role to look after Country. We stand strong in the law. Strong culture means we are caring for our Country and in control.
