Notes

  • Mununja the Butterfly, written by Don Bell with bilingual text and commentary by Chris Ilert, was originally endorsed by the United Ngunnawal Elders Council and produced for distribution to schools in the ACT. Disagreements between the parties involved and the withdrawing of the endorsement by the United Ngunnawal Elders Council meant that the bilingual version of the book was not distributed to schools by the ACT Government.
    An English version of the work was also published.
