TJURKURRPA PULKA – MINMA (BIG WOMENS STORY)
This is a very important women’s story for Nelly. It’s a story about strong women’s culture. Nelly sings the story while she is painting. Nelly is worried for her people’s culture and special ceremonial songs.
Nelly tells the story like this:
There are many women sitting together—young, old, and middle-aged women. All the elders begin singing together, and the middle-aged women join in, singing and dancing. The women begin having a big ceremony. It is a very important ceremony for all these women.
The elders tell the middle-aged women not to tell the young people the sacred songs because they are not keeping them secret and safe.
The orange circle symbolises a nulla nulla, which is a special tool also used for dancing.
