The stippling technique of this plate is that of the Central Desert though, a different region and culture, but the Yorta Yorta have adopted different styles.</p><p><br /></p><p>James is one of the surnames known among the Yorta Yorta. They were colonised before the Central Desert people were, which means they suffered and lost more, hence more use of English names. The name Yorta Yorta means no no, maybe something they had to say a lot in the early contact days.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> Since then they have worked hard at regaining their aboriginal identity in a changed world, and this lovely plate is a very positive testimony to that.</p><p>There is also a Yorta Yorta ceramics award.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
