This work is about my culture and language, Yankunytjatjara culture. I am a proud Yankunytjatjara woman. My family has been

Yankunytjatjara people. Our language is different to Pitjantjatjara. Most people speak Pitjantjatjara these days, and I like spending time with the few family members that still speak Yankunytjatjara and teaching the young ones about our language.

I am painting a lot of the trees, grasses and their seeds that are specific to my language and region.

There are many words in Yankunytjatjara that come directly from the trees, and I want to paint them to keep them strong and alive for the next generation.

Palya.
