Matjangka has depicted the infinite and breathtakingly beautiful night sky that is omnipresent above the country of the *APY lands. Detailed dotting creates an expansive field of stars. This is the Milky Way where the Kungkarangkalpa tjukurpa depicts the Seven Sisters when they have flown up into the Milky Way and can be seen as the star cluster known as the Pleiades or seven sisters. The story involves seven sisters who traveled from place to place to escape the man called Nyirru. He constantly changed his shape so they have to keep running away. He would like to marry the youngest sister but the other sisters do not like the idea of the sister marrying the man because he is ugly and has six toes. Eventually the sisters fly up into the Milky Way and can be seen as the star cluster known as the Pleiades (Seven Sisters).
