Muriyira Djiraali By Natalie Bateman
Acrylic on Canvas
85 x 65cm
Djiraali ’blood’, Muriyira ‘whale’ is the translation in our dhurga language. Way back before early settlement of the few headlands around from Twofold Bay Eden, our people continued to perform whale ceremony with surrounding tribes. Here the orca whales would round up a whale to beach itself and the orcas were rewarded with the tongue of the beached whale. This happened for thousands of years, we are told. Davisons whaling station was built in early settlement time and our Great Grandfather worked at the station with other Yuin men. I sit on the beach of Twofold Bay and think of those whales that were killed there, blood seeping through the sand. This painting represents the whales that were killed, our culture & colonisation.
