Munguri

This painting depicts an important Ngaanyatjarra women’s story, Kungkarangkalpa Tjukurrpa, Seven Sisters Dreaming. Seven Sisters were travelling through the country and this painting shows them passing through Munguri near Tjukurla (Kintore way). A wati (man) spied on them while they were digging deep water holes for drinking water. He wanted to make the youngest one his wife but the sisters ran away and hid from him. They then crossed the country passing through sand hills and dug for water as there was none in the creeks.
