The skinny bush banana Dreaming is only associated with Pikilyi, and does not travel to other locations. Pikilyi is an important site associated with a number of different Dreamings. These include yuparli Jukurrpa (bush banana Dreaming), warrilyi ngurlu Jukurrpa (blue mallee [Eucalyptus polybractea] seed Dreaming), kakalyalya Jukurrpa (cockatoo Dreaming), and warna-jarra Jukurrpa (two snakes Dreaming).

Mina Mina is an extremely important ceremonial site for Napangardi and Napanangka women that is located approximately 600kms west of Yuendumu, just east of Lake Mackay and the WA border. The area has a ‘marluri’ (salt lake or claypan) that is usually dry, without water. There are also a number of ‘mulju’ (soakages), sandhills, and a large stand of ‘kurrkara’ (desert oaks [Allocasuarina decaisneana]). The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an important source of Warlpiri ritual knowledge and social organization, particularly relating to the different roles performed by men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘kirda’ (owners) of this Jukurrpa are Napangardi\/Napanangka women and Japangardi\/Japanangka men. There are a number of different Jukurrpa associated with Mina Mina; artists usually choose to depict one particular Jukurrpa in their paintings. In addition to ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle), these can include ‘karnta’ (women), ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks), ‘majardi’ (hairstring skirts\/tassels), ‘ngalyipi’ (snakevine [Tinospora smilacina]), and ‘kurrkara’ (desert oak [Allocasuarina decaisneana]).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mina Mina Jukurrpa tells the story of a group of ancestral ‘karnta’ (women) who traveled from west to east. In the Dreamtime, these ancestral women danced at Mina Mina and ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks) rose up out of the ground. They collected these digging sticks and started travelling to the east. They carried their digging sticks over their shoulders and they were adorned with ‘majardi’ (hairstring belts), white feathers, and necklaces made from ‘yinirnti’ (bean tree [Erythrina vespertilio]) seeds. They continuously anointed themselves with ‘minyira’ (shiny fat) to increase their ritual powers as they went along. As the women travelled, they were followed by a ‘yinkardakurdaku’ (spotted nightjar [Eurostopodus argus]) from the Jakamarra subsection. The bird would call out and then hide in the bushes behind them as they travelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the women danced at Mina Mina, they created a large dust cloud that swept up the ‘walyankarna’ (snake ancestors). The ‘walyankarna’ had previously transformed themselves from witchetty grubs into snakes at Kunajarrayi (Mount Nicker, 200km southwest of Yuendumu), and they had stopped at Mina Mina to watch the women dance. This dust cloud blew the ‘walyankarna’ further north to Yaturluyaturlu (near the Granites gold mine). In this way, the ‘karnta Jukurrpa’ (women’s Dreaming) and ‘ngarlkirdi Jukurrpa’ (witchetty grub Dreaming) intersect. This allowed the ancestral women to observe the witchetty grubs and learn how to best locate and cook them, which are skills that Warlpiri women still use today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women went east from Mina Mina, dancing, digging for bush tucker, and creating many places as they went. As they went east, they passed through Kimayi (a stand of ‘kurrkara’ (desert oak)). They passed through sandhill country where the ‘yarla’ (bush potato or ‘big yam’ [Ipomea costata]) ancestors from Yumurrpa and the ‘ngarlajiyi’ (pencil yam or ‘small yam’ [Vigna lanceolata]) ancestors from Yumurrpa were engaged in a huge battle over women. This battle is also a very important Warlpiri Jukurrpa narrative. The women went on to Janyinki and stopped at Wakakurrku (Mala Bore), where they stuck their digging sticks in the ground. These digging sticks turned into mulga trees, which still grow at Wakakurrku today. The women then went on to Lungkardajarra (Rich Bore), where they looked back towards their country in the west and started to feel homesick for what they’d left behind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women split up at Lungkardajarra. Some of them travelled eastwards to Yarungkanyi (Mount Doreen), and kept going east. They passed through Coniston in Anmatyerre country, and then went on to Alcoota and Aileron and beyond. The other group of women travelled travelled northwards from Lungkardajarra to Karntakurlangu. These women stopped at Karntakurlangu (an area that literally means ‘belonging to women’) to dig for ‘wardapi’ (sand monitor\/goanna [Varanus gouldii]) and ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle). ‘Jintiparnta’ appears in the sandhills after the winter rains. The growing fungus forces the earth above it to crack, exposing it. Women dig it out of the ground and squeeze out the liquid inside to drink before cooking it in hot ashes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter stopping to collect the ‘jintiparnta’ at Karntakurlangu, the women kept traveling further north. However, both groups of women eventually got so homesick for their desert oak country in the west that they went all the way back to Mina Mina, where they stayed for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mina Mina Jukurrpa (of which this ‘jintiparnta’ Jukurrpa is a part) contains important information about the different roles that men and women play in Warlpiri culture, particularly in the context of ritual performance. It alludes to an earlier time in which their ritual and social roles were reversed, in which women controlled the sacred objects and weapons that are now exclusively “owned” by men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contemporary Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography can be used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites, and other elements. In paintings of the ‘jintiparnta’ Jukurrpa,  circles and roundels represent the ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle) that the women collected as they travelled, and straight lines represent their ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tina Napangardi Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40588354814042,"sku":"WA6463\/23","price":230.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0143\/8612\/files\/tina-napangardi-martin-desert-truffle-dreaming-aboriginal-art.jpg?v=1764029479"},{"product_id":"tingarri-ancestors","title":"Tingarri Ancestors","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtist: Wentja Morgan Napaltjarri\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 92m x 122cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eMedium: Acrylic on linen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wentja Morgan Napaltjarri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038609514586,"sku":"TANG7878-17","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0143\/8612\/files\/IMG_1606_345fb60f-38e8-48a1-9649-0fa8442e957e.jpg?v=1750994809"},{"product_id":"minyma-pirni-nikinila","title":"Minyma Pirni Nikinila","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtists: Elsa Fiona Young, Deborah Young, Sheena Dixon, Dianne Wamantjangu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 91.4cm x 121.9cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: Acrylic on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStory from the certificate of authenticity:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinyma Pirini, Tjitji Birni, Kungawarra pirni, whole lot sitting down!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ladies have been gathering and preparing so many bush foods; wangunu, mangarta, kampurarpa, larkarra, kantumi.

Mina Mina is an extremely important ceremonial site for Napangardi and Napanangka women that is located approximately 600kms west of Yuendumu, just east of Lake Mackay and the WA border. The area has a marluri (salt lake or claypan) that is usually dry, without water. There are also a number of mulju(soakages), sandhills, and a large stand of kurrkara (desert oaks). The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an important source of Warlpiri ritual knowledge and social organization, particularly relating to the different roles performed by men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kirda(owners) of this Jukurrpa are Napangardi\/Napanangka women and Japangardi\/Japanangka men. There are a number of different Jukurrpa associated with Mina Mina; artists usually choose to depict one particular Jukurrpa in their paintings. In addition to ngalyipi (snakevine), these can include karnta (women), karlangu (digging sticks), majardi (hairstring skirts\/tassels), kurrkara (desert oak [Allocasuarina decaisneana]), and jintiparnta (desert truffle [Elderia arenivaga]).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mina Mina Jukurrpa tells the story of a group of ancestral karnta (women) who traveled from west to east. In the Dreamtime, these ancestral women danced at Mina Mina and karlangu (digging sticks) rose up out of the ground. They collected these digging sticks and started travelling to the east. They carried their digging sticks over their shoulders and they were adorned with majardi (hairstring belts), white feathers, and necklaces made from yinirnti (bean tree [Erythrina vespertilio]) seeds. They continuously anointed themselves with minyira (shiny fat) to increase their ritual powers as they went along. As the women travelled, they were followed by a yinkardakurdaku (spotted nightjar [Eurostopodus argus]) from the Jakamarra subsection. The bird would call out and then hide in the bushes behind them as they travelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the women danced at Mina Mina, they created a large dust cloud that swept up the walyankarna (snake ancestors). The walyankarna had previously transformed themselves from witchetty grubs into snakes at Kunajarrayi (Mount Nicker, 200km southwest of Yuendumu), and they had stopped at Mina Mina to watch the women dance. This dust cloud blew the walyankarna further north to Yaturluyaturlu (near the Granites gold mine). In this way, the karnta Jukurrpa (women's Dreaming) and ngarlkirdi Jukurrpa (witchetty grub Dreaming) intersect. This allowed the ancestral women to observe the witchetty grubs and learn how to best locate and cook them, which are skills that Warlpiri women still use today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women went east from Mina Mina, dancing, digging for bush tucker, collecting ngalyipi (snakevine), and creating many places as they went. Ngalyipi is a rope-like creeper that grows up the trunks and limbs of trees, including kurrkara(desert oak). It is used as a ceremonial wrap and as a strap to carry parraja (coolamons) and ngami (water carriers). Ngalyipi stems can be pounded between stones and tied around the forehead to cure headaches, and Warlpiri sometimes also chew the leaves to treat severe colds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the women went east, they passed through Kimayi (a stand of kurrkara(desert oak)). They passed through sandhill country where the yarla(bush potato or big yam [Ipomea costata]) ancestors from Yumurrpa and the ngarlajiyi (pencil yam or small yam [Vigna lanceolata]) ancestors from Yumurrpa were engaged in a huge battle over women. This battle is also a very important Warlpiri Jukurrpa narrative. The women went on to Janyinki and stopped at Wakakurrku (Mala Bore), where they stuck their digging sticks in the ground. These digging sticks turned into mulga trees, which still grow at Wakakurrku today. The women then went on to Lungkardajarra (Rich Bore), where they looked back towards their country in the west and started to feel homesick for what they’d left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women split up at Lungkardajarra. Some of them travelled eastwards to Yarungkanyi (Mount Doreen), and kept going east. They passed through Coniston in Anmatyerre country, and then went on to Alcoota and Aileron and beyond. The other group of women travelled travelled northwards from Lungkardajarra to Karntakurlangu.

The area has a ‘marluri’ (salt lake or claypan) that is usually dry, without water. There are also a number of ‘mulju’ (soakages), sandhills, and a large stand of ‘kurrkara’ (desert oaks [Allocasuarina decaisneana]). The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an important source of Warlpiri ritual knowledge and social organization, particularly relating to the different roles performed by men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘kirda’ (owners) of this country are Napangardi\/Napanangka women and Japangardi\/Japanangka men, who can depict portions of the Mina Mina Jukurrpa in their paintings. There are a number of different components of the Mina Mina Jukurrpa; artists usually choose to depict one particular aspect. These can include ‘karnta’ (women), ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks), ‘majardi’ (hairstring skirts\/tassels), ‘ngalyipi’ (snakevine [Tinospora smilacina]), ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle [Elderia arenivaga]), and ‘kurrkara’ (desert oak [Allocasuarina decaisneana]).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mina Mina Jukurrpa tells the story of a group of ancestral ‘karnta’ (women) who traveled from west to east. In the Dreamtime, these ancestral women danced at Mina Mina and ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks) rose up out of the ground. They collected these digging sticks and started travelling to the east. They carried their digging sticks over their shoulders and they were adorned with ‘majardi’ (hairstring belts), white feathers, and necklaces made from ‘yinirnti’ (bean tree [Erythrina vespertilio]) seeds. They continuously anointed themselves with ‘minyira’ (shiny fat) to increase their ritual powers as they went along. As the women travelled, they were followed by a ‘yinkardakurdaku’ (spotted nightjar [Eurostopodus argus]) from the Jakamarra subsection. The bird would call out and then hide in the bushes behind them as they travelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the women danced at Mina Mina, they created a large dust cloud that swept up the ‘walyankarna’ (snake ancestors). The ‘walyankarna’ had previously transformed themselves from witchetty grubs into snakes at Kunajarrayi (Mount Nicker, 200km southwest of Yuendumu), and they had stopped at Mina Mina to watch the women dance. This dust cloud blew the ‘walyankarna’ further north to Yaturluyaturlu (near the Granites gold mine). In this way, the ‘karnta Jukurrpa’ (women’s Dreaming) and ‘ngarlkirdi Jukurrpa’ (witchetty grub Dreaming) intersect. This allowed the ancestral women to observe the witchetty grubs and learn how to best locate and cook them, which are skills that Warlpiri women still use today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women went east from Mina Mina, dancing, digging for bush tucker, and creating many places as they went. As they went east, they passed through Kimayi (a stand of ‘kurrkara’ (desert oak)). They passed through sandhill country where the ‘yarla’ (bush potato or ‘big yam’ [Ipomea costata]) ancestors from Yumurrpa and the ‘ngarlajiyi’ (pencil yam or ‘small yam’ [Vigna lanceolata]) ancestors from Yumurrpa were engaged in a huge battle over women. This battle is also a very important Warlpiri Jukurrpa narrative. The women went on to Janyinki and stopped at Wakakurrku (Mala Bore), where they stuck their digging sticks in the ground. These digging sticks turned into mulga trees, which still grow at Wakakurrku today. The women then went on to Lungkardajarra (Rich Bore), where they looked back towards their country in the west and started to feel homesick for what they’d left behind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women split up at Lungkardajarra. Some of them travelled eastwards to Yarungkanyi (Mount Doreen), and kept going east. They passed through Coniston in Anmatyerre country, and then went on to Alcoota and Aileron and beyond. The other group of women travelled travelled northwards from Lungkardajarra to Karntakurlangu. These women stopped at Karntakurlangu to dig for ‘wardapi’ (sand monitor\/goanna [Varanus gouldii]) and ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle) before going further north. Both groups eventually got so homesick for their desert oak country in the west that they went all the way back to Mina Mina, where they stayed for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Jukurrpa contains important information about the different roles that men and women play in Warlpiri culture, particularly in the context of ritual performance.

Circles and roundels can represent the ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle) that the women collected as they travelled, and straight lines are used to represent the ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks). ‘Majardi’ (hairstring skirts) are represented by wavy lines suspended from a single curved line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nathania Nangala Granites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42016649412698,"sku":"WA8653\/23","price":230.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0143\/8612\/files\/sabrina-napangardi-granites-mina-mina-dreaming.jpg?v=1763781294"},{"product_id":"purrungu-jillian-giles-121x147","title":"Purrungu","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtist: Jillian Giles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 147.3cm x 121.9cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: Acrylic on Canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiography\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJillian grew up in Kaltukatjara (Docker River) with her parents and her five siblings.
