Balu yalyba Wajarri, Baiyungu Nhangardi.

Young strong Aboriginal man holding a fighting stick and shield dressing himself in kangaroo skin and white man clothes.

His people are Wajarri, Baiyungu and Nhangardi.

Wajarri - belongs to the Murchison River region in mid Western Australia. I was often confused with saying Wiradjuri while living on the east coast

Baiyungu - belong to the regions around Exmouth and Coral bay my mother's oldest brothers country.

Nhanagardi - belong to Jambinu (Geraldton in Wajarri) the country I currently live on

Language is another way you can heal country Indigenous healing is a holistic approach and everything we do feeds into healing ourselves and our country.
