Cat Dreaming Pakuru Jukurrpa
This Dreaming belongs to the Japaljarri/Napaljarri and Jungarrayi/Nungarrayi skin groups.
The hill, known as Pirli in Warlpiri, is a prominent landmark on Elizabeth Nungarrayi’s grandfather’s country, which is called Kunajarriyi. It is a painting of the Kunajarriyi landscape from Elizabeth’s memory and the stories that were passed down from her family.
The pakuru lives on this country (located in the southern Tanami desert), searching for food and sleeping.
Pirli is part of the Cat Dreaming Story. Custodians for this story perform the associated song and dance in ceremony.
