During the “Age of Dreams,” the whale Lumaluma once emerged from the sea in human form to teach people some customs. But gradually he began to abuse his power. As soon as the whale saw something tasty, such as wild honey, he declared this food sacred and forbade people to eat it. The day Lumaluma decided to eat human flesh, the people rebelled and killed him. But the rituals Lumaluma taught them and the sacred objects he gave them retained their importance to the aborigines.
