Pangkapirni
Pangkapirni is a very significant place to the Artist. This is her Ngurra (home) country where she lived and travelled throughout the Pujiman (bush) days with her family. It is not far from the Community of Kunawarritji which is also known as Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route and is an important Minyi Puru place. Minyi Puru is a Jukurrpa (dreamtime) story about seven sisters that are travelling throughout the desert running away from an old man called Yurla. The man chases the wantis (women) all the way from Roebourne on the west coast right through Martu country before flying east. Along the way they stop at a lot of important places to camp, sing, dance and collect bush tucker. There are also many interactions with Yurla when he catches up with them along the way, creating an amazing abundance of stories and meaning with this culturally rich narrative.
Martumili Artists warns visitors that our website includes images and artworks of Artists who have passed away which may cause distress to some Indigenous people.
Martumili Artists acknowledges the Nyiyaparli and Martu people as the Traditional Owners of the land we live and work on. We also acknowledge the Traditional Owners throughout our country and our Elders; past, present and emerging.
