Renae paints a Tjukurpa/story called Minyma Mamu, which was passed onto her by her grandmother Manyitjanu Lennon. Manyitjanu Lennon describes the country of this story:
'Mamungari-nya is a long, long way over the other side of the sand dunes past Tipilnga, a place where many white trees grow. This is the place where women came and were turned into the white marble gums on the sand dune south of Watarru. Mamungari-nya is a place of claypans and a special women's site where lots of little gum saplings and emu bush grow.' Artist statement: My nana, she used to work with Land management, and she would take out all the traditional owners to Minyma Tjuta Kutju. Only women were allowed to visit this country because it's a special women's site. When I was a teenager, I went on the trips and we camped at Mamangar-nya. There we did patch burning, collected bush tucker, and went digging for maku, tjala and tinka. We cleaned up the area and identified native plants. We found buffalo grass growing and cleaned up the area with patch burning. We made damper and collected tjanpi to weave with. My nanas would tell me stories about how to take care of the environment, both physically and spiritually. They taught me how to take care of my country so that it will be preserved for many generations. Thank you for listening to my story.
