| Description: | The informant demontrates and describes the preparation process and the application of a plant medicine made of wild lemon grass (Cymbopogon procerus).The base of the wild lemon grass is used for the treatment of scabies and skin sores. Procedure: Some lemon grass (Cymbopogon procerus) is pulled up. The earth is shaken off, the outer layers of each stem is peeled off and discarded. Then the upper part of the stems keeping only the bases are broken off. The bases are pounded and placed in a container of clean water. The water is brought to the boil and boiled until the liquid becomes transparent. Then it is moved from the fire and left to cool. The sores are washed with the liquid over a one or two day period. The procedure is repeated until the sores have healed. | |
| This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
