"This painting is part of the Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) Seven Sisters Song Cycles. It is from the Dreaming country of Muntja, her aunty and her mother-in-law.
Many women were travelling along the Canning Stock Route. They are always on the lookout to see which way to go. There is one old Tjakammara man watching and following them. When the women were asleep he grabbed one of the sisters and took her underground."
