Wedaeo'o'wa gumadagul'nya namina. Module 8: Section One When the white men first arrived in Botany Bay, they were greeted by the Gwaegal, a clan of the D'harawal people of the Sydney region who lived on the eastern side of Botany Bay, from the Terralbi or South Head to Kuranulla or Cronulla. The Gwaegal were Salt Water people, because their main food came from the sea. Westwards from the Gwaegal, beginning from the western side of Botany Bay, were the Bitter Water Peoples, where the rivers ran over the plains, the Bitter Water mobs were also divided into the Swamp Walkers, whose major food supply came from the swamps, the Mud Walkers, who lived along the banks of the rivers and the Sand Walkers, those who lived between the rivers, and whose major food supply came directly from The Land itself. My own clan, the Bidigal, were Swamp Walkers who wandered from swamp to swamp according to season, from the western shores of Botany Bay, to the eastern banks of the northern Wollondilly Nepean River. My husband's people were the Nattaigal, the Sweet Water People, where the water runs over rocks, and whose major food supply came from the gorges and plateaus of the high country Module S: Section Two. Water was precious in a land where there were seasons when it was scarce, where droughts lasted years, and where fire was always a danger. Australian animals never went to the toilet near fresh water, and nor did the Aboriginal people When the white man first arrived in this country, the early observers remarked that the women served the men, because they noted that when a man wanted to drink, it was the woman who went down to the billagong or pond to gather the water in a coolamon and carry it back up the 8:32 PM 9/20/2017 Search the web and Windows ENGExplanation / Answer
The whole essay or chapter is about australian native clans.
Divisions in clans:
1. Bitter water people - name due to fact that they lived over places where water was bitter. Were subdivided to:
a. Swamp walkers, people who lived in swamps. Writer belonged to this tribe - food from swamp.
b. Sand walkers, people who lived between rivers - main food source off land.
2. Gwaegal - Salt water people - main food source is the sea.
3. Sweet water people - main food supply from gorges and plateaus.
When white settlers arrived they mis understood women bringing men water as women serving men. The actual reason was women maintained clean water in their society and men were not allowed because men have a tendency to urinate when their feet are wet.
Writer took advantage of this fact and put her brothers feet in bowl of water which made him pee in sleep and she'd sit back and enjoy looking at the fuss he made about it in the mornings.
Gadi'gam
There was a guy called gadigam in the story, I do not think the above story happens in the same timeline as this one. This guy 'd like to watch women hiding where they bathed. One day he followed women into some strange place. He looked at her go into a pool with a strange head band and turned into a dove after she dived into the pool. Same happened to another woman, but this time the other woman turned into a eagle.
He remembers a story told in their clan that women can change bodies into other creatures from this pool. He forgets warnings that men should never get into this pool. He gets in and turns into an ant.
