Heritage Statement



'Dorothy Napangardi, traditional owner of Mina Mina in the Tanami Desert, north of Yuendumu says "That place is an important one, number one for ceremony. All of our dancing belongs there. Our aunties Napangardi and Napanangka are there, walking around, sitting down a real long time. Kurlongu there (ceremonial digging sticks); waterholes there, bush tucker there. See those women dancing, women hunting. Good country that Mina Mina. See those women, still there".'
