Aboriginal Marndiwala Initiation Ceremonies in Borroloola
Young Yanyuwa “daru” or initiates are slowly walked to the initiation ground by a group of men and boys who dance around them at their Marndiwala initiation ceremony in Borroloola. The dancers are painted with clay and carry bundles of leaves.
