This particular site of the Yankirri Jukurpa, (emu Dreaming [Dromaius novaehollandiae]) is at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu. The ‘yankirri’ travelled to the rockhole at Ngarlikurlangu to find water. This Jukurrpa story belongs to Jangala/Jampijinpa men and Nangala/Nampijinpa women. In contemporary Warlpiri paitings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. Emus are usually represented by their ‘wirliya’ (footprints), arrow-like shapes that show them walking around Ngarlikurlangu eating ‘yakajirri’ (bush raisin [Solanum centrale]). In the time of the Jukurrpa there was a fight at Ngarlikiurlangu between a ‘Yankirri’ ancestor and Wardilyka (Australian bustard [Ardeotis australis]) ancestors over sharing the ‘yakajirri’. There is also a dnace for this Jukurrpa that is performed during initiation ceremonies.

Very happy with this beautiful, vibrant tablecloth. Takes pride of place in my living room and receives many favourable comments.
Excellent communication and service from Welcome to Country who went over the top to ensure my order was exactly as desired.
I was excited to open the parcel and then discovered it was richer in colour than the photo on the website depicted but even so I was drawn then to both its design and the colour. I am proud to be its owner and congratulate the artist and those who brought her vision into this form.
I used this at a belated Mother's Day lunch for extended family last Sunday and the compliments flowed. This is a beautiful tablecloth that will get lots of use. I love it.
