Yankirri Jukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) This painting depicts a ‘Yankirri Jukurrpa’ (Emu [Dromaius novaehollandiae] Dreaming) from a place called Ngarlikurlangu, approximately 50kms north of Yuendumu. The ‘kirda’ (owners) of this Dreaming are Nangala/Nampijinpa women & Jangala/Jampijinpa men.
This artwork tells the story of a ‘yankirri’ (emu) & a ‘wardilyka’ (bush turkey), who used to collect bush raisins together & make fruit balls. However, they were jealous of each other, & one day the emu destroyed the bush turkey's stash of fruit balls. This caused a fight between the two animals, & the bush turkey flew away.
The practice of making fruit balls is a traditional way of storing bush raisins that goes back to the old days. Today, round, red rocks can be seen which are the smashed fruit balls from the story. There is also a dance associated with this Dreaming that is performed during men's initiation ceremonies.
The Ngarlikirlangu area where the story takes place is home to several other Jukurrpa, including the bush turkey Dreaming, the meat ant Dreaming, & the woma python Dreaming. In Warlpiri paintings, emus are usually represented by arrow-like shapes that depict their footprints.
