Takariya "paints her mother's Minyma Kutjarra (Two Women) Dreaming for her country, which is south of Kiwirrkurra and includes Marrapinti, Ngalpurrunya, Ngaminya rock hole, Karilwara rock hole in the hills west of Pollock Hills in WA, and Wirrulnga rock hole east of Kiwirrkura where the Tingari Women passed travelling east towards Wilkinkarra".
In mythological terms, Tingari exploits often add to or modify features at pre-existing sites, or revive and extend more ancient local Dreaming's. The oral narratives that describe these adventures stretch to thousands of verses, and provide countless topographical details that would assist nomadic bands to navigatate and survive in the arid landscape.
