Korrmankuntja directly means 'thunder is happening there', though for the country and the actions of the Tjukurrpa creation, more accurately known as 'a place of thunder'. This place is very important for Katjarra. She was born at this very site and received her Tjukurrpa here. She has the strongest connection to this place though Pintupi/Ngaanyatjarra customs. At Korrmankuntja, when Katjarra’s mother was pregnant with her, a python (Kuniya) appeared in front of her. Katjarra’s mother killed the snake, and Kuniya became Katjarra. Katjarra’s mother believed that that very python was symbolic of the dreaming python from this area. Kuniya, the creation python, travelled to Korrmankuntja, where the thunder instructed Kuniya to continue onwards to Patjantja, but with a warning.
