Ngangiwumirri elder Patricia Marrfurra McTaggart has grown up on the banks of the Daly River. Fishing, hunting and gathering provide a link to her culture and Country.
“When you’re out bush you can really think properly,” the 62-year-old told SBS News.
“In our culture, we work closely with Mother Nature; she provides us with things that we want and if she sees us doing something that she’s not happy with she won’t give it to us.”
Ms Marrfurra McTaggart lives in the small river community of Nauiyu, in the Katherine Region of the Northern Territory. It has a population of just over 300 people.
