Summary

This appendix briefly outlines just a few of the more interesting and accessible publications on Worrorra culture and society, and some on related and neighbouring languages.

Although by now a little out of date, the best bibliography of manuscripts and publications directly relating to Worrorra may be found in William McGregor (1988) Handbook of Kimberley Languages v 1, as well as references to materials on related and neighbouring languages. McGregor's Languages of the Kimberley, Western Australia (2004) likewise contains extensive information on Worrorra and its neighbouring languages. The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies' on-line Mura catalogue (<http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/collections/muraread.html>) has an even longer list of references (over 250), found by searching under both ‘Worora’ and ‘Worrorra.’

The predecessors to this description of Worrorra grammar are A Grammar of Worrorra (Clendon 2000) and a Worrorra Dictionary, both available from the Kimberley Language Centre. The dictionary has been published by the language centre as A Provisional Worrorra Dictionary (Clendon et al 2000). Both these works are intended for use as resources in any future language revival programme that Worrorra people may decide to undertake.

Major accessible published accounts of Worrorra society and culture include pre-eminently J R B Love's Stone-Age Bushmen of To-day (1936, reissued 2009), and the film Lalai Dreamtime. The eminent scholar of Kimberley rock art, David Welch, has re-issued Love's book under the title Kimberley people: Stone-Age Bushmen of To-day.
