		Yal - A Birth Custom
Contributor (compiler):		Bruce
Contributor (consultant):		Joy
Coverage:		Australia
		Yellow House in Minilang Community.
Description:		The informant is asked about yal, the conical sand hills which are made for each new born child. As the yal custom and its knowledge belongs exclusively to women, the informant gives here only some 'outsider' information, such as purifying the baby and the mother with the heated sand of the yal and smoking the baby [with ironwood leaves]. The ritual is conducted by certain female relatives of the child's mother over several days. The yal custom originates in the creator goddess Warramurrungunji who came from the north. She travelled through the country of North-Western Arnhem Land peopling the country and distributing languages to each group.
