The country associated with this painting is Mina Mina, a place far west of Yuendumu, significant to Napangardi and Napanangka women who are the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area.
The Dreaming describes the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled east gathering food, collecting Ngalyipi (snake vine, Tinospora smilacina) and performing ceremonies as they travelled. The women began their journey at Mina Mina where ’Karlangu’ (digging sticks) emerged from the ground. Taking these implements the women travelled east creating Janyinki and other sites. Their journey took them eventually beyond Warlpiri country.
In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. The primary motif used in paintings of the Jukurrpa are the Karlangu which rose up out of the ground at Mina Mina. The women used them to collect bush tucker on their travels.
