"During ceremony on the Tiwi Islands a series of 'yoi' (dances), are performed; some are totemic inherited from the person's Mother) and some serve to act out the narrative of newly composed songs. Participants in these ceremonies are painted with turtiyanginari (the different natural ochre colours) in varying designs, transforming the dancers and, in some cases, providing protection."
