This story is an important story, Kalaya Tjukurpa my Tjamu’s story. Kalaya Tjukurpa (Emu creation story) for Kanpi Community. The emu is walking around the country, leaving travelling tracks where his has walked. He is eating many bush foods as he travels. All his children are gone. They have hidden in the bush. The Kalaya was playing a trick on the Kipara (Bush Turkey Man). Kunmanara Fabian Baker was the grandson of leading Pitjantjatjara artist and traditional healer Jimmy Baker - one of the founding artists of the APY art movement of the 1990s.
