The anthropology report details these tjukurrpa stories and explains how they are connected to features of the application area including rockholes, landforms and particular types of vegetation. The report explains how these narratives give rise to normative laws, for example a tjukurrpa story linked to the north of the application area sets down the rules for the claim group’s kinship system. The report also includes a map of the application area with the relevant tjukurrpa locations identified, including sites associated with the Seven Sisters story near to both the northern and southern boundaries, and other sites near the eastern and western boundaries, and scattered throughout the central region.
