Title: 'The Coming Together of the Tribes'
(Detail)
Date Completed: 2000
Price: $900
Size: Artwork (42 * 60cm) box frame, float
mount, black background, with buff mat board.
Materials Used: 100% Cotton rag
Artist's statement about the description of the
artwork
The symbol means the coming together of the
Tribes, all clans in the area get together for
sporting events, corroboree's, spear and boomerang
throwing, bartering, singing, foot racing. It
was a social outing and get together for our ancestors.
The modern day version of
the gathering together of tribes is a National
Aboriginal Week that we also know as NAIDOC. Every
year they have a Knockout Rugby League tournament,
the winners get to have it in their own town.
Artists, singers and bands go around to different
towns to entertain, cook JohnnyCakes, traditional
dancers and native foods. The women have a couple
of football players as well. At the end they have
a ball.
Today tradition is still
carried on through A - Week.
Everyone looks forward to A - Week.
