At the heart of this book is the understanding that a painting is not just a painting, nor is it an isolated phenomenon or a static representation. What underpins Yanyuwa perceptions of their rock art is kinship, because people are kin to everything and everywhere on Country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJakarda Wuka\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the multidimensional nature of Yanyuwa rock art: it is an active social agent in the landscape, capable of changing according to different circumstances and events, connected to the epic travels and songs of Ancestral Beings (Dreamings), and related to various aspects of Yanyuwa life such as ceremony, health and wellbeing, identity, and narratives concerning past and present-day events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a time where Indigenous communities, archaeologists, and anthropologists are seeking new ways to work together and better engage with Indigenous knowledges to interpret the 'archaeological record', \u003cem\u003eJakarda Wuka\u003c\/em\u003e delivers a masterful and profound narrative of Yanyuwa Country and its rock art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis project was supported by the Australian Research Council and the McArthur River Mine Community Benefits Trust.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849348763884,"sku":"9781743328774","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19189423482808.jpg?v=1759043227"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/amanda-kearney.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
