"If you don't treat the country well and respect the land the spirit won't give you any food when you go hunting". The print shows a traditional Aboriginal hunter with a spear. He is accompanied by the Jawalang Dawang. The spirit is standing near his shoulder and watching over him to bring him good luck in the hunt.
