Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) Pikilyi is a large & important waterhole & natural spring near Mount Doreen station. Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) tells a story of the home of two rainbow serpents, ancestral heroes who lived together as man & wife. The woman ‘rainbow serpent’ was of the Napanangka skin group, while the man was a Japangardi. This was considered a taboo relationship & contrary to Warlpiri religious law.
Women of the Napanangka & Napangardi subsection sat by the two serpents, picking lice off them. For this service, the two serpents allowed the women to take water from the springs at Pikilyi. This was because the serpents were the ‘kirda’, or ceremonial owners, for that country. The spirits of these two rainbow serpents are still at Pikilyi today.
This Dreaming belongs to the women & men of the Japanangka/Napanangka & Japangardi/Napangardi skin groups.
