Anthropology / Australian Aboriginals
English term or phrase: Western Arrerent
Traduc ceva despre craterele meteoritice, printre care şi Gosses Bluff, din Australia: http://www.amonline.net.au/geoscience/earth/gosses.htm

Problema este că nu-i găsesc nicăieri pe aborigenii ăştia: "Western Arrerent Aboriginal people". “Western Arrerent” o fi numele vreunui loc sau al vreunui trib? Context:

“The site is very important to the Western Arrerent Aboriginal people, featuring in some of their Dreamtime stories”.

Traducerea mea, câtă este:

“Locul este foarte important pentru aborigenii *Western Arrerent* şi apare în unele din miturile lor creaţioniste.”

În rest nu se spune nimic altceva despre ei, e vorba strict de crater. Mulţumiri FOARTE călduroase pentru orice indiciu!

Western Arrernte


Explanation:
Sper sa te ajute asta:
Arrernte is a language, a group of people, and also an area of land in Central Australia.
Western Arrernte refers to Arrernte people who traditionally live in Arrernte lands west of Alice Springs, out as far as Mutitjulu and King's Canyon. It also refers to a dialect of the Arrernte language that is spoken in this area. Some people argue that Western Arrernte is an entirely different language and group of people to Central Arrernte and Eastern Arrernte and there is much debate on this topic amongst Arrernte people especially.
