In this painting Nyunmiti is depicting the Seven Sisters Story. This is a significant Tjukurpa (cultural law) that describes the intergenerational strength of Anangu women learning from and protecting one another. Based on two star constellations, the Seven Sisters (Pleiades) are chased by a trickster (Orion) across the land and into the night sky. It is the knowledge and wisdom of the eldest sister that stewards the sisters to safety:

This is the oldest sister, and her leadership guided the other sister away from the dangers of the world. The oldest sister made sure that the seven sisters stayed together and that no one was left behind. The oldest sister protected everyone and made sure all the women were safe. This was the oldest sister's story and it is the story of all Aboriginal women leaders in Australia today.

Burton learnt this story from her own mother. She has early recollections of her mother dancing while her father sang,together performing inma - a complex ceremonial practice for teaching ancestral stories and cultural law through language, song, dance and body paint.

Nyunmiti says: The Seven Sisters story has always been important for Anangu women and it is more important today than ever before. It is a story that celebrates women's leadership. I am proud of my leadership role. This is very serious work.

The spirit of our ancestors watches over us as we celebrate our culture. When I paint my Tjukurpa, when I sing the songs of my Country, I feel the spirit of the ancestors watching me. The women leaders of the Lands who went before us sing alongside the women of today.
