The Yolngu or Yolŋu (IPA: [ˈjoːlŋʊ]) are an Indigenous Australian people inhabiting north-eastern Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. Yolngu means "person" in the Yolŋu languages. The term Murngin was formerly used by some anthropologists for the Yolngu.
The complete system of Yolngu law is known as the Maḏayin. Maḏayin embodies the rights of the owners of the law, or citizens (rom watangu walal) who have the rights and responsibilities for this embodiment of law. Maḏayin includes all the people's law (rom); the instruments and objects that encode and symbolise the law (Maḏayin girri'); oral dictates; names and song cycles; and the holy, restricted places (dhuyu ṉuŋgat wäŋa) that are used in the maintenance, education and development of law.
This law covers the ownership of land and waters, the resources on or within these lands and waters. It regulates and controls production and trade and the moral, social and religious law including laws for the conservation and the farming of plants and aquatic life.
Wide open mind is clear
A distant voice emerges
from the deep luxuriant forest
The almighty force of ancients pervades my soul
Wide open Fate is clear
They are calling me - resistance is futile
The chains of blood are teased
the time of salvation has come
An enormous green and dark flame
burns the insane fears
There is a surrounding magic around here
The skin loses its epidermic fear
Short flashback of the past infamous life
abhorred reduced to ashes
"The future is awaiting for my coming
long paths in several wrong places
For the transgressor of the cosmic order law
False Messiahs (bringer) of corrupted values
will triumph In the mind of the empty mass
But the eternal salvation is far beyond
where no pathway goes
A fusion in deep spiritual walk between
the cosmic essence And Nature through blood"
The Ancestral spirit evoked emerges
from the frozen tomb of mankind
The broken continuity became a loud memory
I crushed the wall of time
I crushed the dominion of illusions
the past is alive
"The almighty force of ancients pervades my soul
I am the wolf - the obscure abyss and cave
