About the rite
At Yuendumu, Warlpiri boys take on adult relationships and responsibilities through Kurdiji, also called Jilkaja. They learn about Law and take part in a large night ceremony in which women and men have distinct roles. Research and community records describe the rite continuing through 2022.
