Explications sur cette peinture Aborigène :

This Tjukurpa is from Lexie's grandfather's homeland called Kunytjanu, located just south of Pipalyatjara near the SA border with WA. It's a story about tjakura, the great desert skink, a small orange lizard found across the APY Lands.

Tjakura has a lot of grandchildren looking after him. One day, a long time ago, he saw too many strangers, an army coming from Mutitjulu. They came and found the tjakura and they killed him. All the kids made a cemetery there for the tjakura. This is a really big story that goes from Kunytjanu to Aralya.
