The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
today took part in an Aborigine Welcome to Country ceremony at
Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre.
After
meeting elders from the Anangu people of Uluru, they gathered around a
camp fire to watch the Inma ritual which incorporates traditional
clapping sticks.
The ritual was the way the Anangu people formally acknowledged the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's arrival to their land.
Kate and William watched intently as dancers smeared with white paint performed in a ceremonial circle.
