The country associated with this painting is Mina Mina, a place far to the west of Yuendumu, which is significant to Napangardi and Napanangka women and Japangardi and Japanangka men. All of them are custodians of the Jukurrpa which 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 (Tinospora smilacina or snake vine) 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. The women used the ‘karlangu’ to collect bush tucker on their travels. In contemporary Walpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. The main motif used in paintings of these Dreamings are the ‘karlangu’, which rose up out of the ground at Mina Mina.
