Wirlang Wimun - Life of a Matriarch

Follow

My name is Rebekah Nyalkba I am an Aboriginal Artist from the Northern Territory, now based in Adelaide in South Australia. Nyalkba is my Jawoyn name given by my Jawoyn grandmothers, elders and traditional owners of Katherine and custodians of Nitmiluk National Park.
I was born in Darwin during the 1980s on the land of my paternal grandmother's people the Larrakia Nation.
As a child my mother took me to be raised on her Jawoyn homeland in Katherine.
I grew up amongst our tribe and around traditional language, dreaming stories, art, dance, singing, caring for animals and sacred country.
