This story of Pirlarla Jukurrpa (dogwood tree bean Dreaming) comes form the country near to the
Yiningnarra range, south of the Rabbit Flat and several hundred kilometres to the north-west of
Yuendumu. This Jukurrpa travels west and begins near Yumurrpa. There, women of the
Napurrurla/Nakamarra subsection travelled and collected the ‘pirlarla’ (seeds and pods) of the
‘wakirlpirri’ (dogwood [Acacia coriacea]) tree, a valuable and highly prized food source. In the hot
summertime the ‘pirlarla seed pods are collected, burnt in a fire and then cracked open. The seeds
inside the pods are then ground up and make a good food. The juice from the seeds is also edible.
In Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Juurrpa and other elements. In
paintings of this Jukurrpa the representative designs that are painted onto women’s bodies during
their Yawulyu ceremonies are often shown. The custodians of the Pirlarla Jukurrpa are Jakamarra/
Jupurrurla men and Nakamarra/Napurrurla women.
