Leanne - thanks for that site. I didn't know it. I agree with you 100% about Europeans trivializing the aboriginal culture. I think it stems from a feeling of guilt.
Achebe - thank you. Yes, mysterious. It hints at time/place displacement, as does the legend of the coming of death, with its Yowee in the hollow tree, flying into the sky, and the two white cockatoos flapping hard to catch up. This becomes the Southern Cross and the pointer stars.
