Yarripiri is one of the greatest of the Warlpiri snake ancestors, a python identified with the rocky massif of Winparrku (Mount Wedge), south-west of Yuendumu. In the Jukurrpa he is old, blind and crippled, abandoned by his kin, and must be carried across the country by the men and women of the appropriate subsections as he travels north performing the Jardiwanpa ceremony of reconciliation and retribution. Where his body rested, coiled or dragged, the land rose into hills and outcrops that bear his name. Charles Mountford recorded and photographed the full track of his myth with Warlpiri men in the 1960s, and his design belongs to the enduring iconographic tradition documented by Nancy Munn at Yuendumu.
