STORY

This dreaming story is about Napangardi and Napanangka women dancing. They set off dancing from Minamina, and went to Wakurlpu area. They slept there and danced and danced. At dawn the next morning they went to Yanmajirdikirlangu area. They slept there and then went dancing far to the east. After that, holding dancing sticks, they danced to the west. There they threw the dancing sticks to the ground, pointing towards the west, went down into the earth, and returned to Minamina.
