Youth Dance
The Wardipi (Goanna) Jukurrpa is about guiding us along the right pathway. The green group youth dance 'Purami' (Guidance) explores this.
Wardapi Banner
Steve Wanta Jampijinpa Patrick interprets the moral of the Wardapi dreaming. The story of the Wardapi offers us a warning. There is a saying in this story to always walk in your older brother’s footsteps. Stay on your path and don’t be distracted by the Wardapi hole. A Goanna hole might look like it contains good tucker but it could be dangerous, you could be bitten by a snake.
