Yaama Ngunna Baaka 2019 was a Corroboree Festival conceived by Uncle Bruce Shillingsworth, with a vision of initiating dialog with Elders.[1]

The festival comprised a series of Corroborees by the rivers in Walgett, Brewarina, Bourke, Wilcannia and Menindee.[2] About 12 dance groups participated.[3] and hundreds travelled with them in Convoy to each of the Corroborees.[4]

The Corroboree at Wilcania was hosted by the Barkindji. The Barkindji fear their culture, which relates closely to the river, is being destroyed.[5]
The Tal-Kin-Jeri Dance in Australia Group came from Adelaide and performed at the closing night near Menindee.[6]
