The Yolngu peoples’ land and sea Country in north-east Arnhem Land is densely named, as a consequence of the actions of ancestral beings who gave shape to Country and to Yolngu society in place. Placenames are sung in ceremony, and passed down through the generations as personal names. This project aims to document the placenames of two Yolngu regions and explore what they tell us about Yolngu society as a system that has been in place for thousands of years. In consultation with Yolngu, it aims to create an interactive map and database archive to which Yolngu historians can add in the future, providing significant benefits for a community for who consider these names to be central to their identity and wellbeing – past, present and future.

位于阿纳姆地东北部的Yolngu人的土地和海洋国家被密集地命名，这是祖先的行为的结果，他们塑造了国家和Yolngu社会。地名是在仪式上唱的，并作为个人名字代代相传。该项目旨在记录两个Yolngu地区的地名，并探索它们告诉我们Yolngu社会作为一个已经存在了数千年的系统。在与Yolngu协商后，它的目标是创建一个互动式地图和数据库档案，Yolngu历史学家可以在未来添加，为那些认为这些名字对其过去，现在和未来的身份和福祉至关重要的社区提供重大利益。
