Traditional Ceremonial Rituals are cherished by all Australian Aboriginal people. They differ in content, style and reason – however, they have been and still are an inherent part of the culture of the Aborigine throughout the country, from the Top End, Kimberley, Central and Western Desert, Tiwi Islands, Arnhem Land, Alice Springs, Utopia, to the far south of the Continent.

Many associate the words "Aboriginal Ceremony" with deeply sensitive and serious themes, and indeed they are – Initiation Ceremonies, Dreaming Ceremonies, Bereavements.. However, Aborigines perform ceremonies for many different occasions – these incorporate song and dance events to celebrate Christmas, Holiday ("sit-down time"), important seasonal changes and social events.

Normally spelt Kija or Gidja, we believe the correct spelling is Kitja. The letter 'K' in Aboriginal language is pronounced 'G' and 'T' is pronounced 'G' – i.e. "Kartiya" pronounced "Gudia" = whiteman.

Traditional dancing is part of the core structure of Aboriginal Tradition. Sometimes called Joonba ( heritage corroboree), Wangka (Festive Corroboree), Munga Munga (women’s corroboree), dancing has from time immemorial to the present day been used by all Australian Aboriginal tribes both for ritual purposes and to express and represent many many facets of their lives and beliefs.
