Bunbum ga dhä-yutagum: to make it right again, to remake

We say it becomesdhawaatj. This is muddled up; the process is not right. In songspirals and ceremonies, when things become dhawaatj everyone says 'errgh' and claps to erase the mistake and start again. Songspirals have been here forever. They areRom, Law. They continually bring us and everything in our Country into being. They must not be muddled. We are still singing and keening these songspirals. As Bawaka Country, we say 'errgh'. Too much has been muddled up: the violences of ongoing colonialism; theRomnot followed; non-humans treated as if they have no voice. Our intention isbunbum ga dha-yuakum, to make it right again, to remake, to build something through its renewal. We are starting again. We want to refuse the mistake and we hope to contribute to processes that heal. We are a more-than-human, YolLATIN SMALL LETTER ENGu-non-YolLATIN SMALL LETTER ENGu Collective from North East Arnhem Land and south eastern Australia. We consider YolLATIN SMALL LETTER ENGu songspirals and the importance of order and process to continually remaking the world. We also reflect on how our working together is part of the songspirals and how this contributes tobunbum ga dha-yuakum, to making it right again, to resisting that which silences or muddles, and to repairing damaged relations and connections.
