Evelyn shares the Bush Yam (Antwelarr) Totem of her late
Aunt, Emily Kngwarreye. The Bush Yam is a native subteranean
source of food and water.
An important part of the woman's role in traditional Aboriginal
culture is to collect bush foods. The Yams are collected by
digging deep into the soil using sharp digging utensils either
made from
carved wood or more commonly today, a metal crow bar. The
Yams are exposed amongst the root system of the yam bush.
