The country associated with the painting Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming) is 'Mina Mina', a place far to the west of Yuendumu, which is significant to Napangardi and Napanangka women - the custodians of the Jukurrpa (Dreaming) that created the area. The Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who traveled to the east gathering food, collecting 'Ngalyipi' (snake vine) and performing ceremonies as they traveled.
The women began their journey at Mina Mina where Karla-ngu (digging sticks) emerged from the ground.
Taking these implements the women traveled east creating 'Janyinki' and other sites. Their journey took them eventually beyond Warlpiri Country. The central motif in this painting is the Ngalyipi vine, which grows up the trunks and limbs of the 'Kurrkara' (Desert Oak) trees. Ngalyipi is a vine sacred to Napangardi and Napanangka women and has many uses including as a ceremonial wrap, a strap to carry 'Parrajas' (wooden bowls) laden with bush tucker and as a tnorniquet for headaches.
