In the Tiwi ancestral memory, Japarra is Purukaparli’s deceitful brother. He & his sister-in-law Bima become lovers. During one of their bush rendezvous Bima & Purukaparli’s baby son dies of heatstroke, bringing mortality to the world. Following the tragic discovery of his son’s death, Purukaparli fights his brother with the rage of grief, striking him with spears & throwing sticks.
