Butterfly Story

Hello my name is Rico

Today I would like to tell you mob why I like butterflies. Since I was growing up butterflies were my favorite creature and my father’s side family has a butterfly symbol which means a lifesaver, respectful, responsibility in my language. That’s when it all started it in the first place why my ancestors made it became our totem and they made a traditional dance and song line for it and that’s why me and my family represents butterfly very much. We wear shirts, yapa skirt, shorts, jewelries, or anything that has butterfly design.

Butterfly is Happiness, the more you chase it, the more it will elude, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder, this quote was from my mum.

Butterfly is a totem of Datiwuy clan aka Ganambarr clan. And I put this design in a t-shirt and it looked so amazing and the black color represents my nanas clan Bukulatjpi the ocean queen and the blue represents the Garawirrtja aka birrkili the blue flag mob my mother’s clan.
