All of them are the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled east, gathering food, collecting Ngalyipi (snake vine – Tinospora smilacina), and performing ceremonies as they travelled. The women began their journey at Mina Mina, where karlangu (digging sticks) emerged from the ground. Taking these implements, the women travelled east, creating Janyinki and other sites. Their journey took them far to the east, beyond the boundaries of Warlpiri country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ngalyipi vine grows up the trunks and limbs of the Kurrkara (desert oak – Allocasuarina decaisneana) trees. Ngalyipi is a sacred vine to Napangardi and Napanangka women and has many uses. It can be used as a ceremonial wrap, as a strap to carry parrajas (wooden bowls) that are laden with bush tucker, and as a tourniquet for headaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wavy lines represent the snake vine, the ‘u’ shapes represent the women, the circular shapes are edible mushrooms the women collect on their travels, and the two straight lines in the middle represent digging sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll Better World Arts products return royalties to the artists and their communities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Better World Arts\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/7624\/files\/BWA_Logo_small1_compact.png?v=1514960721\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Better World Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46421010481348,"sku":"JWA678","price":11.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/7624\/files\/JudyWatsonwrap.jpg?v=1784526571","url":"https:\/\/paperparrot.com.au\/products\/better-world-arts-wrapping-paper-x-4-folded-sheets-judy-watson","provider":"Paper Parrot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
