Seed Dreaming – Ngurlu, Karlajirdi Jukurrpa
This dreaming belongs to Jakamarra/Jupurrurla and Nakamarra/Napurrurla groups, and the Miyamiya area. It depicts Nakamarra and Napurrurla women collecting seeds from karlajirdi grass and putting them in wooden dishes, often known as coolamons (in Warlpiri: parraja). The karlajirdi grass is a creeper that runs along the ground. The women clean the seeds, and later they’ll grind them on a stone, make them into seed cakes with a little water, and cook them in the hot coals from the fire.
