Tjarany Roughtail contains eight dreamtime stories, all significant to the history of the Kukatja people of Western Australia's remote Kimberley Region. Each story is complemented by beautiful artworks painted by Aboriginal artist Lucille Gill that visually explain each story using traditional dot paintings. Told in English and Kukatja, the book includes magnificent paintings, maps, kinship diagrams, exercises and language notes.
