The Nativw Fuchsia Dreami8ng is about a Jungurrayi man called Lintipillimti who fell in love with a Napangardi woman, which was forbidden under Warlpiri Law. He began to wonder how he could woo her. He went to Ngarku and made hair string for he, singing as he worked. The Napangardi woman could not sleep and realised that someone was ‘singing’ her. When they ‘married’ they were turned to stone as their relationshio was taboo acording to Warlpiri Law.
