Details

The lines depicted on the Dhangal (dugong) show the traditional cuts that are used by the people of my home, Badu Island. The name of this cut is kaiar rou dun. We use this method to ensure that none of the meat and precious fat is wasted. The cuts have been utilised to ensure that all of the Island families are provided for. Particular cuts -for example from the tail – are shared amongst those who have the most standing in the community. There is also a hierarchy according to where you sit in the boat, the meat and the cuts you receive. If you sit in the back of the boat you get particular cuts, in the middle another cut etc.” Tipoti Nona 2025
