As you know, the yidaki, it's all coming from a particular place, from Arnhem Land. Arnhem Land had tools, and that was the tools called yidaki and plus a stepping stick. It's tools for those songs and it's tools for that country. When you are using yidaki onto songs, you're using both of them, yidaki and stepping sticks. The songs are all coming from the land, too, because we are using and naming all those countries. So what I'll say... Remember us. The yidaki, it's all coming from the Yol\u, and Yol\u been sharing the knowledge right across Australia and right across to overseas. But remember us.
