Ngapa Jukurrpa - Puyurruby Chantelle Nampijinpa Robertson
The country associated with this Ngapa Jukurrpa is Mikanji, a watercourse west of Yuendumu that is usually dry. There are Mulju in this creek bed. The Kirda of this Dreaming site are Nangala/Nampijinpa woman and Jangala/Jampijinpa men. Mikanji is an important water Dreaming site and features in at least three different water Dreaming tracks. In one story, the water Dreaming travelled from Puyurru, north west of Yuendumu (a remote Aboriginal community) to a mulgu in the Mikanji creek. It unleashed a huge storm there. Two old blind women of the Nampijinpa skin group were sitting by the side of the soakages. As the two women strained their eyes to see the sky, tears formed in their eyes, creating the rain. Their spirits can still be seen at Mikanji in the form of two "Ngapiri" (River Red Gums) growing near the soakage.
