Wanjina-Wunggurr
The term "Wanjina-Wunggurr" refers to a significant cultural and spiritual concept among the Indigenous peoples of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. Wanjina are ancestral beings depicted in rock art, representing creation and the natural world. They are often associated with rain, fertility, and the well-being of the land.
Wunggurr, on the other hand, refers to the Dreamtime stories and the spiritual connection to the land and its features.
