'Kungkarrangkalpa' (The Seven Sisters or Pleaides) is significant Tjukurrpa (dreamtime). Its origins you may be familiar
with in astronomy and its connection to 'Wa Nyiru' (Magic Man or Orion). The roots of this dreaming stems across
indigenous groups around the world. The Australian Aboriginal songline is one part to the whole dreaming which can be
traced all around the world. The ladies of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands depict their significant chapter and understanding of
the journey of the sisters. The different versions of this story depend on where you live and the significance's of local
Tjukurrpa places.

Nyiru fell in love with the sisters but he was of the wrong skin group to marry, but he still pursued them on their
journey. The sisters travel across the land to escape Nyiru’s unwanted attentions, but he is persistent and always finds
them. There are significant land forms which can be sited today that evidence this dreaming. As Nyiru is chasing the
sisters he tries to catch them by using magic to turn into the most tempting kampurarrpa (bush tomato) and the most
beautiful Yirli (wild fig tree), for them to eat and camp under. However, the sisters are knowledgeable of his magic and
too clever for Nyiru who they outwit again and again. They go hungry and run through the night rather than be caught
by him. As the journey continues, Nyiru gets so frustrated at the wit of the sisters that he uses his magic to make the
oldest sister sick to try and get closer to her. The other sisters rescue the big sister and nurse her back to health. It is
said he also captures the youngest sister, but with the help of the oldest sister, she escapes back to her sisters who are
waiting for her. Eventually, the sisters fly into the sky to escape Nyiru, forming the constellation. Nyiru felt lonely,
longing for the sisters who were so far away. Nyiru used his magic to go to the sky, forever in pursuit.
