This artwork depicts the tracks of the travelling women from the Dreamtime, as they crossed the desert to reach to the Mina Mina aboriginal dictionary button Site.


Even today the Warlpiri women regularly gather at this site in a ceremony to re-enact this Dreaming story. Here they paint each other’s bodies with Dreaming designs and chant and dance the age old creation story. The ancient Mina Mina site is the birth place, where the digging sticks emerged from the ground.
