Preface
Nyampu pakarli pijakurlu, jarukurlu 2 (These pages are (filled) with picutres and stories), is a reading booklet in a series of eight such booklets containing captions of varying length and complexity dictated in Warlpiri by Maurice Luther Jupurrula and Jerry Patrick Jangala to Lothar Jagst at Hooker Creek.
Hooker Creek is an Aboriginal Settlement in the Northern Territory on the northern fringes of the Tanami Desert. Warlpiri is spoken by approximately 2600 Desert Aboriginals on various settlements, missions and cattle stations in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The main concentrations of Warlpiri live at Yuendumu, Hooker Creek, Warrabri, Papunya and Willowra.
The illustrations were drawn by Carol Budge and members of the Summer Institute of Linguistics; the text was prepared for publication by Lothar Jagst. Mr. Jagst is also a member of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, Australian Aborigines Branch.
An English translation of the captions is provided at the back of this booklet.
