Galtha is a place of negotiating knowledge; a site for learning, ceremony, negotiation and decision-making. Galtha is also the spear used to symbolise that a decision has been made by everyone and for everyone.
"Galtha is everywhere; wherever Yolngu and Balanda people are acting properly there is the possiblity of galtha" (Marika-Mununggiritj & Christie 1995).

Galtha a work in progress
This blog was originally created as part of a University assignment. I'm in the process of developing it into a more general blog of ideas. The theme of different knowledge systems and negotiating meaning will remain. Comments and contributions are welcome.
