Description - Barramundi Fishing Story Arlaminga by Margaret James
An exciting book based on the Tiwi Islands and authentically illustrated by 6 young talented Tiwi upcoming artists and well-known artist, Anne McMaster. A group of four young ‘cousin-brothers’ go on a barramundi fishing trip early one morning. They have adventures with a sleepy crocodile, a hungry eagle, the weather and in some cases, a lack of fishing skills! However, thanks to the skills of one of the boys they return home with two fat, silver barramundi to share with the family. They manage to just beat the first of the big summer rains, as the wet season, Jamutakari, arrives - to cook one fish on the fire before the big drops begin to fall. Jennifer Ullungura Clancy, a Traditional Owner of the Mantiyumpi land Owning Group where the Tiwi College is built says: “I am excited to help launch this book for the Tiwi students and the wider Australian public to learn some stories about Tiwi life from the eyes of our Tiwi kids. I fully support the publication of this book, as part of the Reading Tracks collection, and congratulate the students of Tiwi College on their wonderful illustrations.” Elders Jennifer Ullungura Clancy and Benita Tipiloura worked with the artists and author Margaret to ensure the cultural appropriateness of the book.
