Karntakurlangu Jukurrpa 
refers to a very significant site at Karntaklurlangu located north of Yuendumu in a fertile area defined by two large pans and numerous water soakages. It is the sacred Mina Mina site and the ancestral home for the Napangardi and Napanangka family groups.
Mina Mina is the birthplace of the digging stick and a large stand of Eucalyptus trees (Casuarina Decaisneana) now stand where tradition says the digging sticks emerged from the ground. The significance of this artwork refers to the women defining the country with digging sticks. The Mina Mina women often stopped and marked particular sites, where ceremonies were performed through song lines and dance cycles and is enshrined in their country.
