In Nyungar cosmology, the
Waarkal (Rainbow Serpent) is the Creator and guardian of the fresh water sources.
He gifted us life and a deep belief in three interconnected realms:
- Boodjar (country) - the land that nurtures and sustains us
- Moort (family) - our kin, community and belonging
- Katitjin (stories) - the knowledge passed through generations.
These three form the foundation of Nyungar life.
Woven together, they create the “web of life” – a living system that guides how we care for each other, honour our Ancestors, and stay connected to Country.
