Djandak Wi Strategy - Dhelkunya Wi 2024 - 2034 Djandak is where our knowledge comes from, Djaara know how to nyerna (hear, listen, understand, know) to the unique place-specific biocultural indicators across Djandak to know when and how to conduct Djandak Wi. Plants are important indicators, for example grass moisture, colour, flowering, and seeding, and animals, for example when Bardi or Witchetty grubs leave their nests and fly out of the ground. We also use astrological indicators, for example the shape of the dark emu tells us whether Country is ready for Djandak Wi. Djandak Wi the right way often means burning in small patchy mosaic patterns. It means letting wi meander through the landscape and go where it wants to go. When Djandak Wi is done the right way, all generations of Djaara are on Country strengthening our living Culture, sharing experience, laughter, food, story, and language. Right way Djandak Wi heals our spirit. It involves being on Djandak with our kids, teaching our kids how to put in flame.
