This series contains restricted material.

This item consists of 10 magnetic tapes recorded by Norman B Tindale at Yalata (SA) in 1964. Most of the material recorded, including song cycles, tjukurpa stories, and discussions on ceremonial boards, is of a restricted nature. Tindale offers partial and tentative transcriptions of songs as well as descriptions of performances in his field journal: 'Entomology and General Field Trips by Norman B Tindale. 1964-1965. Adelaide, S. Australia', AA 338/1/43/3, pp. 23-169. With regard to the Malu, Kanyala and Tjuruki song cycle, he noted that: 'none of the men have sufficient command of English to give the meanings of the songs and I record them in the hope that they can be more fully understood in the future' (AA 338/1/43/3, p.73).

The following contents descriptions have been taken from annotations written by Tindale on the tape boxes:
