Molly (Maluya) Jugadai Napaltjarri paints the story of significance to her skin name Napaltjarri.

The Napaltjarri sisters/children descend from the seven sister’s constellation in the sky, at evening time. They represent the first people on earth.

As they fall, dew collects on the grass and makes the flowers and bush tucker grow. The sisters roam the earth every night collecting dew and bush foods amid the vegetation of the desert.
