This Dreaming belongs to\u003cbr\u003eNakamarra\/Napurrurla women and Jakamarra\/Jupurrurla men. This\u003cbr\u003estory describes the journey of Yarripiri, an ancestral ‘warna’ (snake). He\u003cbr\u003etravelled from Wirnparrku near Mt. Liebig to Yimparlu, and continued its\u003cbr\u003eway through the territories of Ngapanangka-jarra, Warlajirryi,\u003cbr\u003eKurnmundu, Yinyirrinyi on to Ngama. Later Yarripiri travelled further\u003cbr\u003enorth via Mijirlparnta (Mission Creek) and right through to the top end of\u003cbr\u003eAustralia.Yarripiri was very sad as his family had left him behind at\u003cbr\u003eWirnparrku. He was blind and crippled but he was determined to follow\u003cbr\u003eand search them out. He had to be carried. This was the job undertaken\u003cbr\u003eby the ‘kurdungurlu’ (ceremonial police) of the Dreaming: the\u003cbr\u003eNangala\/Nampijinpa women and Jangala\/Jampijinpa men. Where\u003cbr\u003eYarripiri's tail slumped and touched the ground creeks were formed,\u003cbr\u003esuch as Mijirlparnta, west of Yuendumu. Yarripiri tracks and paths are\u003cbr\u003eoften represented by arc shapes or curved lines depicted across the\u003cbr\u003ecanvas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlukurlangu Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54351056404769,"sku":"751\/23ny","price":1289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2691\/2256\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-04at2.50.57pm.png?v=1793769897","url":"https:\/\/greenhouseinteriors.com.au\/en-us\/products\/warna-jukurrpa-snake-dreaming-original-art-1","provider":"Greenhouse Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
