Mina Mina Jukurrpaby Pauline Napangardi Gallagher
This Jukurrpa comes from Mina Mina, a very important women's Dreaming site far to the west of Yuendumu near Lake Mackay and Western Australia Border. The Kirda or owners for this Dreaming are Napangardi/ Napanangka women and Japangardi/ Japanangka men; the area is sacred to Napangardi and Napanangka women. There are a number of Mulju and a 'Maluri (clay pan) at Mina Mina. In the Dreamtime, ancestral women danced at the Mina Mina site and Karlangy rose up out of the ground.

Artist
Pauline Napangardi Gallagher was born in 1952 in Yuendumu in northern Australia. She went to the local school in Yuendumu and soon after married her promised husband, who is now deceased. Pauline moved to Nyirripi , about 160 kms from Yuendumu, and she still lives there. She has three sons, two daughters and fifteen grandchildren. Some of her family live in Nyirripi and the rest live in Yuendumu, Kintore and Papunya, other Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. Pauline's country is Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs), a sacred water hole and located near Mount Doreen Station west of Yuendumu and approximately 350 km north west of Alice Springs. Since 2006 Pauline has painted with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, a Yuendumu-based art centre. She paints her father's stories - Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Pikilyi Dreaming) and Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming), about her land, its features and animals. These have been passed down through the family for millennia. She continues to paint when she visits Yuendumu or when canvas, paint and brushes are delivered to Nyirripi by the art centre, which has done this since 2005. Pauline loves colour and uses an unrestricted palette to develop a modern interpretation of her traditional Aboriginal culture.
