When white anthropologists began studying Aboriginal culture, they came up with the term "Dreamtime" to describe the mythology and history of Indigenous Australians.
But they couldn't have been more wrong.
What they were trying to define is too complex a concept, considered almost impossible to be captured by a single word in the English language.
For Curtis Taylor, a Martu artist from the Western Desert of Western Australia, his people call it "Marngunyi" or "Jukurrpa".
