This painting has song and story, singing and dancing, which is known as Inarra. The painting represents the digging, singing, and dancing that occur when the waterhole is dug. It is a ceremony for digging the jila and bringing the rain.

"On and on, this story has been told and passed on. There’s only three of us now, who were taught by the old people."
