In the Dreamtime there are txo parts to the Kame story, one that belongs to Alhalkere and Atnangkere countries, and the other that belongs to Arnumarra country.

The Kame story is a major Dreamtime story for Maureen’s country and ceremonies by her people are performed to ensure its productivity as a food source and life form of the ancestors.
