Kanta has painted the Minyma Tjuta or Seven Sisters story as it passes through her homeland area Tjuntun. The Minyma Tjuta story is a powerful and pertinent story to women right across the Western Desert. In this story several women are travelling across country while being pursued by a lustful oder man who wants to catch himself a wife. In Spinifex country where the women have been present there will be a significant landmark or change in geographic terrain. Kanta has represented the women by the semi circular motif where they are sitting down eating bush foods. The larger roundalls are the rockholes across Spinifex country in particular Tjuntun, Pirapi, Karnka, Upinya, Tjarki and Mamutu. The women finally left this area and headed north to a significant womens site called Tjitirkara. Nyiiru continued to follow them.
