This Jukurrpa belongs to women
of the Nakamarra/Napurrurla subsections and to Jakamarra/Jupurrurla men.
This Dreaming is associated with a place called Jaralypari, north of
Yuendumu. Lukarrara (desert fringe-rush [Fimbristylis oxystachya &
Fimbristylis eremophila]) is a grass with an edible seed. The seeds are
traditionally ground on a large stone (‘ngatinyanu’) with a smaller
stone (‘ngalikirri’) to make flour. This flour is mixed with water
(‘ngapa’) to make damper cakes which are cooked and eaten.

In Warlpiri traditional paintings iconography is used to represent
the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. Large concentric
circles often represent the site of Jaralypari and also the seed bearing
grass Lukurrara. ‘U’ shapes can depict the Karnta (women) collecting
‘lukarrara’ and straight lines are frequently used to portray seeds that
fall down to the ground and are also collected by women using their
‘parrajas’ (wooden food carriers) and ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks).
