The Artwork's Story as told by Pauline:

Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming) Ngalyipi

This Jukurrpa (Dreaming) comes from Mina Mina, a very important womens Dreaming site far to the west of Yuendumu near Lake Mackay and the Western Australian border. In the Dreamtime, ancestral women danced at Mina Mina and karlangu (digging sticks) rose up out of the ground. The women collected the digging sticks and then travelled on to the east, dancing, digging for bush tucker, collecting ngalyipi (snake vine) and creating many places as they went. The women stopped at Karntakurlangu, Janyinki, Parapurnta, Kimayi, and Munyuparntiparnti, sites spanning from the west to the east of Yuendumu. When they stopped, the women dug for bush foods like jintiparnta (desert truffle). The Dreaming track eventually took them far beyond Warlpiri country. The track passed through Coniston in Anmatyerre country to the east, and then went on to Alcoota and Aileron far to the northeast of Yuendumu and eventually on into Queensland.
