"Jarduwanpa" ceremony: men and women dance with ceremonial objects, associated with the mythological song cycle that is sung for many nights.

At "Pukumani" funeral ceremonies, as here on Melville island, the men often dance with decorated spears and a "tokwayinga" ceremonial object in their mouth.

"Jurntu Purlapa", a corroborree from the Warlpiri people of the Western Desert, in which the strange recurring dream of one of the men was acted out.
