MINYMA KUTJARA (TWO SISTERS)
Julie is telling the story of two sisters travelling through her mother’s country towards Docker River, Northern Territory. They stopped at Ilkuwaratjara and cut a wana (digging stick). The punu (wood) was really straight.

The little sister was getting homesick, but the big sister said: “No, I am taking you to meet your family.” Along the way, they were digging for kuka (meat such as goanna) and Niny (bilby). They got kuka, and they were happy to have a good feed.

The ‘U’ shapes represent the sisters. Next to them are their wana, or digging sticks. The circles represent rock or waterholes where water collects after the rains.
