Yininmadyemi - The Indigenous Fallen (2)

This is no shrinking violet, this memorial. It was erected earlier this year. It consists of bullet cartridges, generic, I presume. Four are standing, three have fallen. I am not sure what "Yininmadyemi" represents, but the exhortation is "Thou didst let fall". Perhaps a spirit god. It is a confronting memorial, focussing as it does on the death, rather than the sacrifice. However, upon reflection, it is a more honest memorial than the one 100 metres away that glosses over the blood and guts, and converts death by savagery into a glorious sacrifice for the common good.
