This is a resource about a collaborative study carried out by the CSIRO and the Aboriginal peoples of the Northern Territory and Western Australia to map the peoples’ knowledge of bush tucker associated with the Daly and Fitzroy Rivers and develop seasonal calendars. The resource consists of an online article from ‘Australian Geographic’ by Natalie Muller accompanied by an image of Ngan’gi woman Molly Yawulminy hunting for long-necked turtle in the Daly River. The article describes the Ngan’gi calendar based on the life cycle of the spear grass and points out the value of recording Aboriginal ecological knowledge based on observation over thousands of years.
