Daughter of Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi has also become a successful artist, representing her territory through Dreamtime.
Here, she paints the dream of the Seven Sisters and the Milky Way. A Tjakamarra man, wishing to marry them, began courting them.
The sisters, frightened by the man and his proposal, fled. The man began to pursue them.
To escape him, they ran until they reached the sky. They thus became the constellation "Pleiades". As for the man chasing them, he became the Morning Star.
