Jakarda Wuka (too many stories): Narratives of rock art from Yanyuwa Country in Northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria.

The book "Jakarda Wuka (Too Many Stories): Narratives of Rock Art from Yanyuwa Country in Northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria" explores the rock art traditions and narratives of the Yanyuwa peoples in northern Australia. The authors, Liam Brady, John Bradley, and Amanda Kearney, collaborate with Yanyuwa elders to provide a new and exciting account of the region's rock art and socio-ecological narratives. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding rock art through Indigenous systems of kinship and land management, rather than traditional archaeological approaches. It explores the interconnectedness and kinship between humans and other-than-humans, and highlights the significance of Yanyuwa rock art as a tangible manifestation of this relationship. The authors use ethnographic approaches to create a meaningful record of Yanyuwa lifeways and relationships with art and Country, showcasing the impact of collaborating with Indigenous communities on studies of rock art.
