Product Description

This is a creation story is from near Kanpi in the APY Lands. Malila was a woman with one lame leg who
often went hungry because she couldn’t search and hunt for food. She would have to wait for her two
daughters to bring her meat so she could eat. She travelled around like a dog (on all fours). She travelled
from a long way, moving on all fours like a dog and she got to a place near Kanpi when it was raining and
her daughters helped her build a wiltja to get out of the rain. That wiltja is now an underground cave. One
day her daughter brought her meat and Malila saw that it had been cooked by man and said to her
daughters, ‘I’m not going to eat this meat. Who are these men? You must have husbands.’ And she left her
cave and went travelling further west where she came across some men and got really angry with them.
The men hit her and she fell and rolled down a hill and died. (creating some mountains along the way)
