ENQUIRE
The country associated with this Jukurrpa is Mina Mina, a place far to the west of Yuendumu, which is significant to Napangardi/Napanangka women and Japangardi/Japanangka men. All of them are the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area.
The Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled to the 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 far to the east beyond the boundaries of Warlpiri country. The ’ngalyipi’ vine grows up the trunks and limbs of the ’kurrkara’ (desert oak, Allocasuarina decaisneana) trees. ’Ngalyipi’ is a sacred vine to Napangardi and Napanangka women that has many uses. It can be used as a ceremonial wrap, as a strap to carry ’parrajas’ (wooden bowls) that are laden with bushtucker and as a tourniquet for headaches.

ENQUIRE
The country associated with this Jukurrpa is Mina Mina, a place far to the west of Yuendumu, significant to Napangardi/Napanangka women who, along with their Japangardi/Japanangka brothers, are the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area.
This dreaming describes of 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. The women used the ’karlangu’ to collect bush tucker on their travels. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements.
The main motif used in paintings of these Dreaming are the ’karlangu’, which rose up out of the ground at Mina Mina.
