This Dreaming from Mina Mina country, a very important women’s Dreaming site found near Yuendumu in Central Australia. The owners of this Dreaming are Napangardi/Napanangka women and the Japangardi/Japanangka men. The area is sacred and there are a number of Mulju and claypans at Mina Mina. In the Dreamtime, ancestral women would dance at Mina Mina and digging sticks rose up from the ground. The women collected them and travelled to the east, dancing and digging for bush tucker. They collected Snake Vine and created many places as they went. Snake Vine is used as a ceremonial wrap and as a strap to carry coolamons. It can also be used to tie around the forehead to cure headaches and bind cuts. In Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is often used to represent the Dreaming and other elements.

Locally hand made on Dharawal Country on the South Coast of New South Wales.

100% Aboriginal owned and operated.
