Product Description

A story of deep significance to women. It tells of two women travelling north. The pair meet with a group of
women, including Kutungu, who are caring for a man who then passes away. They then travel to the area
known as Mantaruta, near Uluru, where they have encounters with a curious wanampi/serpent, chasing
him deep into the ground trying to catch him. They burn their body hair to attract him and hit him on the
head and run away. From afar they throw a manguri/traditional head-ring for carrying which also hits him.
Then he comes and revengefully hits them all over and they travel on bleeding and hurt.
