Wati-kutjara

Redirected from Kutjara

In Aborigine mythology, the Wati-kutjara are the lizard men (totem[?]: iguana) who originally came from a mountain in the Dream time (they later taught shamans how to use and communicate with the Dream time). They created sacred talismans (called tjurunga[?]) and gave them to the people. They also created trees and plants, and river]s, mountains, valleys and other geographic features. They castrated the man in the moon, Kidil[?], because he tried to rape the first woman, who then turned into the Pleiades.
