Dorothy Bidingal

My name is Dorothy Dhukurrru Bidingal. My language and my clan group is Ridharrngu. My mother and father are Dhawuluwul and Ngalandirr. I am Bangaditjan (Skin-name) and my moiety is Yirritja. My totem is (Wurrpan) emu and (Guwak) Spangled Drongo. I learned weaving by watching my mother and my two sisters Maradhuwarr and Bambalarra. I go out bush to collect pandanus and I collect all types of dyes. I like weaving baskets and I can weave mats too.
