          Mawalan Marika (c.1908–1967), often referred to as Mawalan 1 Marika to distinguish from Mawalan 2 Marika,[1] was an Aboriginal Australian artist and the leader of the Rirratjingu clan of the Yolngu people of north-east Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory of Australia.

          He is known for his bark paintings, carvings and political activism.[2]

          Biography

          Mawalan Marika was born around 1908 in Yirrkala.[3] His name derives from the mawalan, or digging stick used by the Djang'kawu of the creation story of the Rirratjingu clan.[1] His clan falls under the Dhuwamoiety, one of the two moieties found in Arnhem Land.[4]

          In addition to being an important asset to many anthropologists, including Charles P.

          Mountford and Ronald Berndt, he was one of the most prominent political activists of his time.[2] Mawal
