'Giidanyba: The Moon Man' (English version)

Giidanyba is a dreamtime story from the Gumbaynggirr nation of the Mid North Coast of NSW, told in the medium of sand by artists John Thiering and Brentyn Lugnan. It tells the story of Giidanyba (The Moon Man) and his journey upriver to engage in a battle with a neighbouring tribe and the consequences. It was produced by The Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance Aboriginal Corporation in 2021.

Wow, that was incredible. Beautifully told.

At first I thought this was just a copy of a video taken from somewhere else, but I was surprised to see this is the channel that created it! It saddens me that this does not have hundreds of thousands of views as it was a great story and the art is incredible and really brings it to life! Great work!
