Bush Tucker Dreamingby Rachael NambulaThis Aboriginal painting tells the story of women (U shaped icon) gathering honey ants and bush berries. Honey pot ants (Camponotus inflatus) are edible and form an occasional part of the diet of Australian Aboriginal peoples. At Papunya, an Aboriginal community is named after a honey ant creation story, which belongs to the people there, such as the Warlpiri. The name of Western Desert Art Movement, Papunya Tula, means "honey ant Dreaming". |
