Explications pour cette œuvre :

Mamu is a rockhole site southwest of Pipalyatjara, about one hour. Alkuwari was travelling with her jamu (grandson) and her grandfather (also called jamu). They made a camp with fire and big wiltja. Alkuwari was worried that her grandson was going to harm her grandfather, and she needed to go hunting. So, she hid her grandfather on top of the wiltja and went. The boy put the waru (fire) inside the wiltja and burned the grandfather. Alkuwari saw the smoke and she ran and ran to the wiltja but the grandfather had died.

The jamu had run away so she went and got all her family to follow him, to kill him. They became the mamu and turned into the seven rockholes of Mamu.

Margaret is painting her father, the late Mr. Donegan's tjukurpa (Dreaming story) from an important site known as Pukara, south-west of Irrunytju (Wingellina community) in Western Australia. It is a story of Wati Kutjara Wanampi (two male water serpents) - a father and son - who are living at a waterhole. According to the story, Anangu tjuta (lots of people) went to that rockhole for the kapi (water), which is said to taste sweet. This upset the father and he told them to go back to their own country. Once the people left, the father and son travelled to Willuna, where they camped for weeks. They then return to Pukara. One day they were sleeping, but were awoken by a loud buzzing sound. The Minyma Punpunpa (the female flies) had been attracted to the honey grevillea plants found near the waterhole. It prompted the father and son to get up and go to collect the honey from the plants. It is there that the Wati Mututa (male black ants) appeared. They speared the son in his side. When the son started vomiting, he produced the seeds of all the different varieties of honey grevillea plants that are still found there today. They include kaliny-kalinypa, ultukunpa, piruwa and witjinti.
