Japaljarri/Jungarrayi men and Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women are the kirda / custodians of the Ngalyipi Jukurrpa / snake vine.
The country associated with this Jukurrpa is at Yanjirlpiri / Mt. Nicker to the west of Yuendumu.
Ngalyipi is a green creeper which curls its tendrils around the trunks and branches of trees and has many uses. Traditionally it was used as a strap to carry parraja / wooden food carrying dishes, as a cure for headaches. It was wrapped very tightly around the head, as a rope and as a ceremonial wrap during the witi ceremony for the initiation of the sons and grandsons of the Japaljarri and Jungarrayi men. Ngalypi was also used to tie witi / ceremonial poles to the legs of the young initiates. The women danced and sang at the ceremony and then had to look away and block their ears when the men danced. The witi ceremony happened at night under the stars.

Every piece is meticulously crafted to order, offering you a diverse range of options. This approach aligns with our commitment to sustainability, as we eliminate excess stock and prioritize your unique preferences.
