In the rocky areas of western and southwestern Arnhem Land live Aboriginal people belonging to different clans, all of whom refer to the existence of tall, thin spirits they call Mimih. These Aboriginal people believe that the Mimih spirits have a social organization similar to that of the Aboriginal people and that Mimih society existed before that of humans. It was these spirits who taught the first humans how to survive in the rocky landscape of the Arnhem Land plateau. The Mimih also showed them how to hunt and butcher game, how to dance, sing, and paint.
