The design: This painting shows two women (minyma) collecting mai (bush foods). The ochre circles with a blue centre represents their campsite. The U-shapes represent the women, that’s the imprint left in the sand from people sitting. The remaining circles are some of the many different varieties of edible plants that grow in Ngaanyatjara Lands and can be harvested. A traditional diet included fruits and vegetables such as tjarnmarta (bush onion), wakati (native pigweed), kampurarrpa (bush tomato), arnguli(bush plum), ili (native fig), mangata (quandong) and seeds from wakalpuka (acacia) and wangurnu (woollybutt grass). In the division of labour in traditional society women were primarily responsible for collecting mai (bush foods) and men hunted large game.
