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.; George Campbell Dixon gives a detailed account of a corroboree he witnessed near Darwin performed by 70-80 natives. He gave King Billy a shilling.
