'Kungakutjarra' - an Aunt and neice who travelled through
the land teaching other women song and dance cycles, were
considered the most important of the Warlpiri women. Ceremonies
are performed in homage to these ancestral women for the essential
skills of collecting food and water in the dessert that they
have passed down to subsequent generations of women. The body
designs painted onto women's bodies prior to such ceremonies
are now also depicted on canvas.
