Painted by Tanita Nangala Sambo at Yuendumu in Central Australia the artwork makes a unique souvenir from Australia.
Tanita has painted Ngapa Jukurrpa (Water Dreaming). The country associated with this Water Dreaming is Mikanji, a watercourse west of Yuendumu that is usually dry. There are ‘mulju’ (soakages) in this creek bed. The ‘kirda’ (owners) of this Dreaming site are Nangala/Nampijinpa women and Jangala/Jampijinpa men. Mikanji is an important water Dreaming site, and features in at least three different water Dreaming tracks.
In one story, the water Dreaming travelled from Puyurru, northwest of Yuendumu, to a ‘mulju’ (soakage) in the Mikanji creek. It unleashed a huge storm there. Two old blind women of the Nampijinpa skin group were sitting by the side of the soakages. As the two women strained their eyes to see the sky, tears formed in their eyes, creating the rain. Their spirits can still be seen at Mikanji in the form of two ‘ngapiri’ (river red gums) growing near the soakage.
This pre-stretched original Aboriginal artwork makes a unique Australian gift for birthdays, Christmas, weddings and other special occasions.
