The Maku Tjukurpa (witchetty grub songline) is a significant songline from Mimili. It is a story about mai (food) a womans tjukurpa. The minyma (women) would go to the kapi tjukurla (water hole) on top of the rocks at Antara. They would roll rocks from the top of the apu down the mountains. Then, the minyma would clean out the rockhole and wait for the rain to come. When the water hole was full with water they would tap on the waters surface with a stick and sing inma and paluni inmaku pakani (dance ceremony).
