Description: Wild Bush Yam Dreaming This painting depicts Aboriginal iconography referring to the edible underground tubers of the yam plant. In summer the plant produces yellow flowers on the surface. The Aboriginal women from Utopia use a digging stick to locate the underground tubers, a staple food source (bush tucker) for Aboriginal people living in Central Australia. This task requires unique skills which are passed down through generations of Aboriginal women. The women pay homage to the spirit of the yam plant in their ceremonies to ensure perpetual germination. Aboriginal Symbols and their Meanings Aboriginal Food Aboriginal
