This particular site of the Yankirri Jukurrpa, (Emu Dreaming) is at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu. The emu travelled to the rockhole at to find water. Emus are usually represented by their footprints, arrow-like shapes that show them walking around Ngarlikurlangu eating 'yakajirri' (bush raisin). There was a fight between a emu ancestor and Wardilyka (Australian bustard) ancestors over sharing the 'yakajirri'. There is also a dance for this Jukurrpa that is preformed during initiation ceremonies.
About this collection and the dressmaker
My daughter Mia is Aboriginal, so it has always been important to me to teach Mia about her heritage, culture and family history. I feel very honoured and proud to create this collection of clothing.
Children learn through play; so incorporating these new Australian Aboriginal Miniland dolls and this collection of clothing featuring Aboriginal artwork is an exciting step towards improving all children’s knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal history and culture.Read more about the dressmaker here.
