This Dreaming belongs to Nakamarra\/Napurrurla women and Jakamarra\/Jupurrurla men. This story describes the journey of Yarripiri, an ancestral ‘warna’ (snake). He travelled from Wirnparrku near Mt. Liebig to Yimparlu, and continued its way through the territories of Ngapanangka-jarra, Warlajirryi, Kurnmundu, Yinyirrinyi on to Ngama. Later Yarripiri travelled further north via Mijirlparnta (Mission Creek) and right through to the top end of Australia.Yarripiri was very sad as his family had left him behind at Wirnparrku. He was blind and crippled but he was determined to follow and search them out. He had to be carried. This was the job undertaken by the ‘kurdungurlu’ (ceremonial police) of the Dreaming: the Nangala\/Nampijinpa women and Jangala\/Jampijinpa men. Where Yarripiri's tail slumped and touched the ground creeks were formed, such as Mijirlparnta, west of Yuendumu. Yarripiri tracks and paths are often represented by arc shapes or curved lines depicted across the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlukurlangu Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44620424413287,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/1889\/2647\/files\/artwork-78442557.jpg?v=1789463003"},{"product_id":"yarla-jukurrpa-bush-potato-dreaming-cockatoo-creek-40","title":"Yarla Jukurrpa (Bush Potato Dreaming) - Cockatoo Creek","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Yarla Jukurrpa belongs to men of the Japaljarri\/Jungarrayi subsections and to Napaljarri\/Nungarrayi women. It comes from an area to the east of Yuendumu called Cockatoo Creek. ‘Yarla’ (bush potato [Ipomea costata]) are fibrous tubers that grow beneath a low spreading plant, found by looking for cracks in the ground. This edible tuber grows from ‘yartura’ (roots) which seek out moisture to spout new plants. Yarla are good to eat, when cooked they are really soft and tasty.
