We follow them into the bush. \nFour lawmen (munnumburra) reveal meanings preserved by the oldest figurative paintings in North Western Australia, known as Gwion Gwion. Their ancient rock art illustrates a distinct society with elaborate dress, and with ceremony and dance that is still celebrated. The world knew nothing about the significance of these enigmatic images until these old men spoke. Their own words combined with photographs record their dulwan mamaa --secret and sacred pathways.\nNarratives identify the origins of their democracy at the stone table where law began. They teach how nomadic ancestors became inheritors of the country for millennia, with traditional titles and symbols, evolving a complex social system by a sharing pattern of marriage with land. As visionary messengers, their laws spread out until they became connected with every living thing.
