Cedric Marika, grandson to the late Dr. Yunupingu and leader of the Gumatj dancers, performs during Garma Festival at Gulkula on August 04, 2023 in East Arnhem, Australia. The annual Garma festival is held at Gulkula, a significant ceremonial site for the Yolngu people of northeast Arnhem Land about 40km from Nhulunbuy on the Gove peninsula in East Arnhem. The festival is a celebration of Yolngu culture aimed at sharing culture and knowledge which also brings politicians and Indigenous leaders together to discuss issues facing Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The gathering takes on a special significance in 2023 with a constitutional referendum on the Voice to Parliament to be held later in the year. (Photo by Tamati Smith/Getty Images)
