The Artwork Story

 

Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Women’s Journey Dreaming)

 

The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an ancient Dreamtime story which has been handed down through many generations of Warlpiri women over tens of thousands of years. The story is about a journey by a group of Warlpiri women who travelled across the desert gathering a vine called Ngalyipi. The Ngalyipi vine has long been used by the Warlpiri women for sacred ceremonies. The vine also has medicinal uses.
