This story tells of a journey that began in the Western Australian deserts and extended through to the South Australian Pitjantjatjara country.
Seven sisters who were travelling cross country were being pursued by a sly, lustful man - Wati Nyiru, who adopted many disguises in order to remain close to them.
When the sisters hid in a cave, he appeared at the entrance, but the women were able to escape through a tunnel. This made him and he made one of the sisters’ sick through sorcery.
When she died, the other sisters took her up to the sky, and they all became stars. That is why, in the night sky, we can see the seven stars of the seven sisters (the Pleiades) followed by Wati Nyiru (Orion).
