White Cockatoo
Traditional Aboriginal song
sung by Michael Dawu, singer and dancer of
the Maliburr tribe in Ramingining in North East Arnhem Land.

This song is about the sulphur crested white cockatoo crying in the forest
of paperbark trees. When Gumatj people cry it is connected. The crying is
linked to the Yolngu spiritual world.
