Kanta has painted the Minyma Tjuta (Seven Sisters) Tjukurpa here. The Seven Sisters story is a major Western Desert story, which accounts for the Pleiades constellation in the southern sky. In general terms the story traces the journey of seven Anangu (Aboriginal) sisters who are travelling together, hunting, singing traditional song and passing through particular sites which have become sacred due to the sister’s presence. In turn the sisters are being pursued themselves by Nyiru, a lustful older man intent on grabbing a sister, preferably the eldest, for his wife. This story is vast and with details in both the private and public domain pertaining to both womens and mens business. Many of the details cannot be publicly discussed.
