Minyma Tjuta (Seven Sisters)

Minmya Tjuta (Seven Sisters) is a major tjukurrpa at Irrunytju and across the desert. The seven sisters were being chased by Kulakula (Larrikin Man) called Nyiru. He wanted to take one for a wife. He tried to trick them. There are two kuniya (water snakes) nearby. The sisters did not want him, they were a bit frightened, so they hid and ran away. He tracked them and chased them right across the desert. He is still chasing them. They can still be seen today, in the sky (the Pleiades) travelling.
