Module 11 Section One When strangers entered our land stories until we came across a word, or even a story which was common to both parties. Once the connection was made, the friendship could develop, and a relationship established. In the process the newcomer would be able to learn some of our laws, and we would learn some of his or hers. This did not happen when the Europcans arrived, they had no wish to sit down with us and discuss anything. We were regarded as just a little less useful than the strange animals that inhabited This Land. At least the animals could be eaten s it was customary for us to sit down with them and exchange To use a more modern, populistic But our stories are our history, our science, our way of life. term our Dreaming. We have a saying, which used to be spoken just prior to a story telling. "Elo warrawarra, narrawuay barudi." To live tomorrow we must learn yesterday. Our stories are about what happened yesterday, how we survived, so -that we can use that knowledge to survive again. Although the common term today to use for our stories is "The Dreaming" it does not properly describe what it is. The D'harawal term for the Dreaming equivalent is Garuwanga, and it is a description of a process rather than a term for a long time. Garuwanga mcans to sit down and to learn about the yesterdays. This usually happened at night, around the camp fire, or watching the sunset in the evening.
