Building on Indigenous traditions of using fibre for medicinal, ceremonial and daily purposes, Aboriginal women took easily to making coiled baskets.
When collecting desert grasses (minarri, wangurna and yirlintji), Aboriginal women visit sacred sites and traditional homelands, hunt and gather food for their families and teach children about country. Grass is bound with wool, string or raffia and sometimes combined with yinirnti (red seeds of the bats-wing coral tree) and wipiya (emu feathers).
