...According to the local Kuninkjku, the mimih created the oldest of the rock art that adorns more than a thousand sites in this freshwater region just south of Maningrida. More recently, Kuninjku artists have transposed their mimih to bark, with results no less magical.

...First, because of the military juntas who came to power in a bloody coup in 1962, and have been running the country with a truncheon ever since. Second, because of us.
