Wandjina’s are our God. He is the creator, we believe the Wandjina’s made the dreamtime stories, the Ungud (Wandjina created Ungud spirits. Every person has an Ungud or Totem. The Ungud is given before birth by a relative through dreams, and represents a living animal), the culture and he is also the Rainmaker. The Wandjina made all the country, its law’s, animals and people.
