Making necklaces is also an extremely important component in Aboriginal culture.


Miriam Giles Nakamarra collected the gumnuts and other small brown nuts from her country of Kaltukatjara aboriginal dictionary button in central Australia.


The production of necklaces is a seasonal occupation which is mainly carried out by the women in a community. In the desert regions of Australia seed production and development are dependent on sufficient rainfalls. Women and children gather seeds and pods for necklace making while searching for bush tucker using their traditional knowledge. Gum nut seeds are collected while they are still green, they are sorted, cleaned, dried and then drilled or poked using hot wire to create beads for necklace making.
