Description

Layer Warning:: Only corroborees that were recorded can be represented, such that these are often those witnessed by and/or performed for colonists and other audiences. Their distribution therefor reflects colonial presence rather than the distribution of corroborees.; Made at the request of 3 or 4 white men and described as a dramatic performance or exhibition. Three tribes took place numbering about 150 including the Rufus or Lake Victoria tribes. The spectators numbered at least a thousand.
