Atham-areny Story
Angelina paintings illustrate the story of the Atham-areny. The site for this story belongs to the hilly country near Willowra on Angelina's traditional country.
Antham-areny comes from the Anmatyerre word; atham (meaning no fire) and areny (meaning belonging to).
Angelina tells the story that these creatures can be known to come out of their homes and steal and hide the babies in the community. It is important that they stay by the fire. If the atham-areny does touch you, you will feel sick.
If this happens a witch doctor must come to sing and dance the sickness out.
