The recording at the center of this item is a Shilluk song. In this song, the composer applauds the Lul Agwöj women’s flag. She also says that the flag was designed; it was not a ready-made flag. Lul women in the village sent a letter and money to daughter of Nyibong, who was in Malakal Town. She is from their village. The women asked her to buy the materials and make a flag. She made a beautiful flag, with the picture of crocodile and rainbow. The lady in the town kept the flag until the women went to see it. The women of the village did not go to Khartoum, but they sent representatives who took the flag to the women of their village who were in Khartoum. Shilluk people of the same village share all the matters concerning the clan. And women of the same village have one group name wherever they may be. They consider themselves as one entity.The following licence files are associated with this item:
