MALIKIJARRA JUKURRPA (TWO DOGS DREAMING)
In this Dreaming story, two dog ancestors, a Jampijinpa and a Napangardi, travelled from the west to the east. At Tapu (a rockhole), the two dogs separated. The female dog, Napangardi, went to the south, and the male dog, Jampijinpa, went to the north. Eventually, he became lonely and howled for Napangardi in the south.
She came running to him, and they married at Ngarnka. They wore men’s and women’s marriage headdresses, and Jampijinpa painted himself with white clay for the ceremony.
The two dogs continued running east before arriving in Warlaku (Ali Curung). Many other dogs were living in Warlaku when they arrived. There were many families of dogs—mothers, fathers, children, and uncles—all living together.
