‘Yarla’ (bush potato, Ipomea costata) are tasty, fibrous tubers that grow beneath a low spreading plant, found by looking for cracks in the ground. This Jukurrpa comes from a place to the west of Yuendumu called Yumurrpa where rockholes were formed by the roots of ancestral ‘yarla’ plants breaking up the ground.
This Dreaming belongs to Jupurrurla/Jakamarra men and Napurrula/Nakamarra women. Nakamarra and Napurrula ‘karnta’ (women) are shown sitting down at Yumurrpa gathering ‘yarla’ with ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks) and placing them in ‘parraja’ (wooden carrying dishes).
