Description

Kevin paints the story of the seed of the Mulga Tree, called Ntang Artety. Ntang means seed in Kevin's language, and Artety is the word for Mulga Tree. This is a very important story for Kevin that belongs to his country, Ilkawerne (El-go-an-na) . The mulga seeds are an important plant food throughout Central Australia, usually available to collect for several months of the year.
