Kimberleys. The 2005 KALACC festival Majarrka was held at the Ngumpan Community. Both of these festivals brought together people from all over the Kimberley region. “Every time we have a festival it brings all the Aboriginal people together...the dancing and singing and corroborees, allim different, but the land is still important to us and the language and our Law and Culture was really strong. Still is today.” Ivan McPhee, Walmajarri, 2004 (deceased) |
