The Story of Native Seed Dreaming

This Ngurlu Jukurrpa (Native Seed Dreaming) is deeply connected to Jaralypari, a significant site located north of Yuendumu. It highlights Lukarrara, a species of Fimbristylis grass, crucial for its edible seeds harvested in winter. These native seeds are traditionally processed: ground into flour on a large 'puturlu' (stone) using a smaller 'ngalikirri' (grinding stone). The resulting flour is then combined with 'ngapa' (water) to create nourishing seed cakes, a vital bush tucker.
