T I W I For thousands of years the Tiwi people of Bathurst and Melville islands in northern Australia believed that their two islands composed the entire world of living people. Their Dreamtime, their culture, flowed from this belief. The geographical isolation of the Tiwi has resulted in art forms that are unique to them and radically different from those of mainland Aborigines: majestic funeral (Pukumani) poles bird carvings bark baskets (tungas) ceremonial ornaments and jewellery and silk-screened fabrics. The Tiwi are a proud and increasingly prosperous people they want to extract the best from encroaching white Australia but they also want to protect a way of life developed and harmoniously maintained over thousands of years. Their tribal elders are busy working on projects that will increase employment on the islands and preserve the autonomy of their people. In this, the commercial success of Tiwi art has been a great boon. Despite these modern influences the Tiwi still hunt for 'bush tucker', they still conduct elaborate and ancient tribal ceremonies, and they still organise their society largely according to Tiwi lore and custom. Heide Smith was captivated by the Tiwi when she first met them in 1987. She spent several seasons on Bathurst and Melville islands, hunting, fishing and living as the Tiwi do. The result of her affectionate association is a lavish portrait of a fascinating and little-known people. Paperback, leichte Gebrauchsspuren.
