*************

Bird posters in four Central Australian Aboriginal languages: 'Birds that
tell people things'
 
In many cultures birds indicate ecological events and can be harbingers of
bad news through their role in mythology. Birds can signal where water can
be found, the presence of game or other food, seasonal events or danger.
This series of posters features birds that are indicators in four endangered
Central Australian Aboriginal languages: Arrernte, Anmatyerr, Alyawarr and
Kaytetye.
 
Each poster includes a color photograph of the bird, its Aboriginal,
scientific and common name, as well as information about what it signifies,
with an English translation. The posters are the result of collaborative
work with Aboriginal language speakers, linguists and ornithologists. They
are produced by the Cultural Signs Project, Charles Darwin University.
