Barkindji people buried a much loved dingo by the river & established a midden around the site - that was then tended & added to, for 500 years.

Dingoes are sacred to this continent. So are the indigenous communities who hold its teachings.

Let’s show some respect.

Uh fun thing, I was just listening to a tribute album of Finnish (#Finland) band #Dingo, and I found it mildly *weird* when the songs had women as vocalists. But hey, it worked out in the end!
