"Yuwa Palya / Kaya" and Lurrtjurringku Meaning joined up โ reconciliation
RAP Artwork
The Lurrtjurringku artwork by Sue Murray, a Traditional Owner from the Yilka People in
the Great Victoria Desert, was commissioned for our Reflect RAP, and has become a
significant piece across the business - symbolising the reconciliation journey at Gold Fields. Building on this recognition, the Innovate RAP embraces the Lurrtjurringku design,
highlighting unique features throughout the document.
โThe black footprints represent my people past, present and future who have and continue to
walk, live and hunt on our Ngurra (Homeland). The circles represent different places on our Ngurra,
the bright colours are plants, trees, water and bush food. The Yilka Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) and Seven Sisters Tjukurrpa are on this painting, we have a lot
of Tjukurrpa story and song lines on our Ngurra which is passed down from our elders
to each generation. I have also included on this painting my Mother Imelia (Frances) Murrayโs personal Tjukurrpa (Totem)
the Ngiarie (Mountain Devil/Thorny Devil), my Sister and my Granddaughterโs Tjukurrpa are also
featured in this painting as they are the Yirliltu (Honey ant) and last but not least my Tjukurrpa
which the Maku (Witchery Grub). The black and white people in the centre represents the white people learning our Culture and
we all working together
