Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Sister's Creation story). When the little sister was very small she was blown by a big wind far to the south, to another country, where the people spoke another language and had different Inma (ceremonies). Many years later the big sister heard where her sister was and went to bring her back home. They travelled together for many days. The little sister was frightened and crying. "I don't want to go on.
