'CORONAVIRUS No 6 Yolngu Matha: Waanga Animal Market China (with English subtitles)'

10:26 Sep 20, 2023
'WARNING  - THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES OF CAGED AND DEAD ANIMALS.   Maratja Dhamarrandji, Mr. C. Yunupingu, and Richard Trudgen discuss the coronavirus.  Richard describes how there are many different sorts of wild and domestic animals in cages in the markets, as well as many dead animals. This can involve cooking and cutting up a big variety of animals and sometimes there might be thousands of animals in the market kept as pets or for food. This is because many of these animals are considered very valuable in China or are thought to have special medical characteristics. So people can make a good income by selling them.  ____________ Note: This video is designed as an educational tool to help the Yolŋu (Aboriginal people from north-east Arnhem Land, Australia) population understand COVID-19. It was created using several, open source, online resources. The graphics and video steps shown are not intended to target any group of people but to provide background information to Yolŋu who, due to language barriers, want to understand where this disease comes from and its consequences for them.  Commonly asked questions from Yolŋu about COVID-19 include understanding what a virus is, where it comes from (wäŋa), its shape/size/colour (ganda’), and how it is transmitted, reproduces and causes sickness (gakal).  Also in some communities, disease and sickness are thought to be caused by some form of sorcery, spiritual event or sickness country in the same way Europeans did before germs were discovered (for example the word “influenza” has its origins in “influence of the stars”).   Although germ theory is widely known and understood throughout most of mainstream Australia it has never been properly explained to most Yolŋu people.   This full series of COVID-19 videos attempts to answer some of those questions from a Yolŋu worldview using their linguistic construction of knowledge.  ---------------------- The traditional worldview of Yolŋu means they want in-depth, science-based information in order to understand any new topic. What Yolŋu call the “dhuḏi-dhäwu” – the deep true story. This full series of videos attempts to answer some of their questions from a Yolŋu worldview using their linguistic construction of knowledge. ---------------------- CONTACT US:  Website: https://www.djambatjmarram.com/  Website: http://www.whywarriors.com.au/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhyWarriors/  Email: info@whywarriors.com.au -----------------------  Richard Trudgen: Production manager  Steph Vajda: Graphic Artist of Ferment Collaborate https://fermentcollaborate.org/  Dianne Gondarra: Language  Rev Dr Djiniyini Gondarra: Language  Maratja Dhamarrandji: Language'
