Long time ago our people believed the Wandjina was like a God to them. Around the Wandjina are small spirits, some are good and some are bad. If you go into a cave there are all sorts of spirit paintings. Every time you see a painting of a Wandjina without a mouth, it's because he was talking to the people, but no one listened to him so he turned around and closed his mouth before creating a big flood. There are also the bush tools used for hunting.
