ENQUIRE
Patju Presley has painted Pinanti, country in the northern portion of the Spinifex Lands belonging to the Walawuru Tjukurpa (Eagle Man Creation story). This is a men’s Tjukurpa and is miil-miilpa (sacred) so much of the detail is omitted in the telling to the uninitiated. Patju says that it involves the Eagle Man and Woman chasing nganamara, the ancestral mallee fowl, which is also food for the eagle. As they chase the nganamara over vast tracts of country their children, a brother and sister jump out of the chase at Nyuman. The parents, in their pursuit west towards Wiluna, don’t realise the children have stayed behind.
