"Alhalkere is the subject of nearly all of Emily Kngwarreye's paintings, it is her traditional land that she held dear.

These include: Awelye (body paint and women's ceremonies); Arlatyeye (pencil yam); Arnkerrthe (mountain devil lizard); Ntange (grass seed); Tingu (a dream t.mes dingo pup); Ankerre (emu); lntekwe (a favourite food of emus, a small plant); Atnwerle (green bean) and Kame (yam seed) from which she gets her name."
