Fire Country: Warlukurlangu Artists
Fire Country Dreaming is a Jukurrpa ancestral story that falls under the custodial role of Jampijinpa and Jangala men and Nampijinpa and Nangala women. The Blue-tongued Lizard ancestor called Lungkarda is the central character. He sent a huge bush fire out to chase his two Jangala sons after they killed a kangaroo for food that was sacred animal to old Lungkarda. Paintings often refer to major sites associated with the story, including the men鈥檚 cave, Kirrkirrmanu where the sacred kangaroo was killed and Marnimarnu waterhole.
Mina Mina Jukurrpa is a vast Dreaming story or songline that travels from Western Australia through the Tanami Desert and out into Queensland. The ancestral women danced at Mina Mina and the Karlangu digging sticks emerged there from out of the earth. The womens journeys cr茅ate many sacred sites where they dig for food using the digging sticks. Thet also collect snake vine to use as a string binding and this image appears in many paintings.
