As the ancestral Tingarri men crossed the desert, they were followed by a group of women and children. The women camped nearby because they were not permitted to see the Tingarri men’s ceremonies. Their actions at these sites created women’s Tjukurrpa and ceremonies practiced today. Some of these sites are restricted to women only, but others can be visited and painted by both men and women, as this painting attests. Joseph Jurra shows women mashing the sweet-tasting fruit known as kampurarrpa (wild raisin) into balls, referencing both the ancestral women and his own relatives who continue this practice.

Ngaminya is here; close up, on the side of the road. The Tingarri Women cooked kampurarrpa for the young people, so the women made this place Kampurarrpa Tjukurrpa.

Rungkani, Tjamu Kapalilu, Mamaku yunkupayi. Pulingka marulu kaputunku ngayuku, tjamuku. (My descendants ground kampurarrpa. They were always giving food).
