Abstract
Sung by a small group of Warlpiri women known as juju-ngaliya (ritual leaders), published by Bachelor Press, and produced in association with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation and Pintubi Anmatjere Warlpiri (PAW) Media and Communications, this songbook documents the yawulyu songs and stories of the Jardiwanpa ancestors as they travelled northwards across Warlpiri country. Listeners are able to access the sound of this remarkable song tradition using the technology of sound printing (whereby code is embedded at certain points in the pages and read/played back using a battery-operated pen that links the code to the sound files stored inside the pen); the printed work includes excerpts of thirty-eight yawulyu songs from the Jardiwanpa ceremony recorded at Yuendumu in 2006. The representation of Indigenous Australian song traditions in texts such as this, by non-Indigenous researchers working in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, is indeed a challenging and complex task that necessarily brings into play various kinds of discourses around coloniality, the continuities of tradition and Indigenous agency, and research as reparation and reconciliation work.
