The painting depicts the movement of the Warlpiri Women Ancestors shaping the landscape with digging sticks, dancing and performing ceremonies, as they travelled across the significant site Mina Mina, Lake Mackay north west of Yuendumu, Aboriginal Art Regions of Central Australia. Other features depicted which are important to Women's Dreaming are the sandhills, spinifex, water soakages, claypans and salt lakes.

To learn more about song, dance and ceremonies visit Aboriginal Music and Aboriginal Dreamtime Stories in our art and culture section.

We recommended the book, DANCING UP COUNTRY, The art of Dorothy Napangardi, published by Museum of Contemporary Art, which illustrates in detail Dorothy Napangardi’s Dreamings.
