Witchetty Grub A16630 Monochrome from NyirampiYear: 2010 Size: 120 x 120cm acrylic on linen In this painting Maggie has depicted the Witchetty Grub dreaming story. An important role for the women traditionally was to collect the native bush foods for the rest of the tribe. The women would take the young girls out into the country and teach them where and how to collect the food. Still to this day many Aboriginal people that live in the desert rely on traditional bush food as a part of their diet.
