The Wandjina he created the earth and all life upon it. After he created the first human beings, the Gyorn Gyorn people. The Wandjina then told the Gyorn Gyorn to work the land and do well. The Gyorn Gyorn were confused and didn't understand what the Wandjona wanted from them. The Wandjina was annoyed he couldn't control the Gyorn Gyorn. He travelled back to Wallungunda (Milky way) and where Idjair was and asked if he could help with the creations. More Wandjinas came back and helped him in all areas of creations. As for the Gyorn Gyorn they became hunters and gathers. They also showed the traditional dancing amongst our tribes.
