Wayipi Story - Uni Nampijinpa Martin


Print on Paper, 76x56cm


Wayipi is a plant creeper that grows along the ground, like a bush yam. Nampijinpa and Nangala women are shown as U shapes looking around for the Wayipi. They have with them parraja (wooden food carrying dishes) and karlangu (digging sticks).

The Jukurrpa (Dreaming) story for this print is about Jungarrayi, a Japangardi man, who travelled around Wanapiyi, a big hill just south west of Yumendumu. In this area he chased a number of Nangala and Nampijinpa women who were digging for Wayipi (bush carrot). The Japangardi man followed those women and tried to reach them in a cave where they were hiding. He managed to grab one of the women for his wife.

Japangardi is shown in the painting, also as a U shape, he has his Karli (rounded boomerangs) and kurlarda (spear).
