Description:Documentation of a bush trip to Malkirr and surroundings with Joy Williams Malwagag, Mary Murndanymarri and Margaret Marrangku. Malkirr is on the eastern side of Croker Island. At Malkirr Joy Williams calls first the coastal place names from South to North. She goes on to tell stories from the past when people visited the area on seasonal hunting and gathering trips. During the trip the informants also identify 'winyjurlbu', a black plum species. At the end they go oyster cracking and find a 'warrkbunyu', which is the Iwaidja name for spikey chiton (Acanthopleura spinosa - Chitonidae) and mangrove slug (Onchidium sp. - Onchidiidae).
Bio
Joy Williams Malwagag was born at Jamarldinki (Cape Don) on the Cobourg Peninsula in 1946. She spent the early years of her life there before moving to Minjilang with her mother, Hazel Mamiyarr, in the mid 1950s. Joy grew up in a multilingual community in which her father’s language Iwaidja was dominant. Although Iwaidja became Joy’s first language, her mother consistently spoke to her in Marrku throughout her childhood and youth, and she has thus maintained a good passive knowledge of this language up to the present day. In addition, Joy hasa high level of competency in Mawng, Kunwinjku, and English. In 1969 she started working at the school at Minjilang, became qualified, and has worked there ever since. In the mid seventies she acted as an Iwaidja language consultant with Summer Institute of Linguistics linguists Noreen Pym and Bonnie Larrimore, and has produced books in Iwaidja for the school. More recently she has worked as a language consultant for the Iwaidja Documentation Project and the Minjilang Endangered Languages Publication Project.
