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.
Described as a welcome by Yegan and about 10 other member of his tribe. Something like a trial of skill in throwing the spear took place between Galleypert and Yegan. No women were visible.
