Language of belonging-Wadu matyidi: animation
This is an animated short film of a momentous event in the lives of Virdianha, Warrikanha and Unaanha, three Adnyamathanha children of long ago. The story begins at night when the children tell scary tales of an ancient creature, the Yamuti. The next day they go looking for stick-nest rats. At a waterhole they come upon strange tracks that Unaanha believes are the Yamuti's. They follow the tracks and, while sheltering in a cave, they see a white man on a horse. The terrified children think it is a spirit, one of the dead or the Yamuti. The dialogue is in Adnyamathanha language with English subtitles. The characters' voices are those of Salote, Ema and Emori Bovoro.
