:''For Yolngu language see Yolngu Matha.'' The Yolngu or Yolŋu () are an Indigenous Australian people inhabiting north-eastern Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. ''Yolngu'' means "person" in the Yolŋu languages. The term Murngin was formerly used by some anthropologists for the Yolngu.〔Roy Willis, ''Signifying Animals: Human Meaning in the Natural World'' (Psychology Press, 1994: ISBN 0415095557), p. 80.〕〔Richard B. Lee and Richard Heywood Daly, ''The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Hunters and Gatherers'' (Cambridge University Press, 1999: ISBN 052157109X), p. 367.〕 ==Yolŋu law== The complete system of Yolngu Law is known as the ''Maḏayin''. ''Maḏayin'' embodies the rights of the owners of the law, or citizens (''rom watangu walal'') who have the rights and responsibilities for this embodiment of law. ''Maḏayin'' includes all the people's law (''rom''); the instruments and objects that encode and symbolise the law (''Maḏayin girri); oral dictates; names and song cycles and the holy, restricted places (''dhuyu ṉuŋgat wäŋa'') that are used in the maintenance, education and development of law. This law covers the ownership of land and waters, the resources on or within these lands and waters. It regulates and controls production and trade, the moral, social and religious law including laws for the conservation and the farming of plants and aquatic life. Yolŋu believe that living out their life according to ''Maḏayin'' is right and civilised. The ''Maḏayin'' creates a state of ''Magaya'', which is a state of peace, freedom from hostilities and true justice for all.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raypirri lyarra'r~ur Romyurr Magayakurr Madayin Law. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yolngu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
