This story comes from a big hill called Mawurrji, west of Yuendumu and north of Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs). A group of ‘janganpa’ ancestors resided there. Every night they would go out in search of food. Their hunting trips took them to Wirlki and Wanapirdi, where they found ‘pamapardu’ (flying ants). They journeyed on to Ngarlkirdipini looking for water. A Nampijinpa women was living at Mawurrji with her two daughters. She gave her daughters in marriage to a Jupurrurla ‘janganpa’ but later decided to run away with them. The Jupurrurla angrily pursued the woman. He tracked them to Mawurrji where he killed them with a stone axe. Their bodies are now rocks at this place. Warlpiri people perform a young men’s initiation ceremony, which involves the Janganpa Jukurrpa. The Janganpa Jukurrpa belongs to Jakamarra\/Jupurrurla men and Nakamarra\/Napurrurla women. In Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent this Jukurrpa. ‘Janganpa’ tracks are often represented as 'E' shaped figures and concentric circles are used to depict the trees in which the ‘janganpa’ live, and also the sites at Mawurrji.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlukurlangu Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44404887781479,"sku":null,"price":334.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/1889\/2647\/files\/artwork-78178306.jpg?v=1786588810"},{"product_id":"warna-jukurrpa-snake-dreaming-41","title":"Warna Jukurrpa (Snake Dreaming)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe place depicted in this painting, Ngama, is located south of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. 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":44406156951655,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/1889\/2647\/files\/artwork-78394137.jpg?v=1786619518"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/1889\/2647\/collections\/62542171.jpg?v=1786543665","url":"https:\/\/warlu.com\/collections\/janelle-napurrurla-ross.oembed","provider":"Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
