Description:		Fifteen Kurri (blue-tongue lizard - Tiliqua intermedia and Tiliqua multifasciata) songs in Kunwinjku (probably spirit language). Some of the songs are not Kurri songs, but belong to an unidentified set (possibly called man-yawo 'cheeky yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (also known as A. variabilis and A. campanulatus))' or man-yawno 'small')
		The classical song traditions of Western Arnhem Land are amongst the foremost examples of verbal art in the nine endangered languages of the region, but few people are now competent to perform or comment on them. Typically performed in multi-lingual social contexts, song texts demonstrate unusual linguistic features such as mixtures of languages and a high proportion of esoteric and intimate vocabulary. We will collect, transcribe, translate and analyse song texts and discussions about songs by contemporary performers, and where relevant repatriate and document archival recordings, making our research results available to communities via a network of local digital repositories.
		Isabel Bickerdike is a postgraduate student at the University of Melbourne, supervised by Linda Barwick and Nick Evans. She was aged 25 in 2006 and was resident at Warruwi from May-November 2006. She is Ngal-bangardi skin, Wurrik clan (Kun-winjku tribe?, given by Mary Gurden-gurden, this is her mother\'s clan).
		Wesley Nganjmira is resident at Kunbarlanja and aged circa 40-50 in 2006. His skin is Balang. He alternated with Simon Bidari in singing and playing didjeridu for the kurri song-set in 2006, but may not be the usual main singer for that set.
