The Star (Seven Sisters) Dreaming depicts the story of the seven ancestral Napaljarri sisters. They are found in the night sky today in the cluster of seven stars in the constellation Taurus. This is more commonly known as the Pleiades.
Jukurra-jukurra, the morning star, is a Jakamarra man who is in love with the seven Napaljarri sisters and is often shown chasing them across the night sky in these artworks. In a final attempt to escape from the Jakamarra the Napaljarri-warnu turned themselves into fire and ascended to the heavens to become stars.
