Miny’tji

Dijan ba main abija totem. en melabat mijimit ola yothu yindi, dhuwa en yirritja. Mela sheya det wanbala dekoreiting, dijan miny’tji na. Miny’tji im wen yu budum detma dot la yu feis. 

This is my maternal grandfather’s totem. And we are all one people, dhuwa and yirritja. We share that same design, this miny’tji here. Miny’tji refers to body painting, like here when you put the dots on your face.
