=== Totems and paintings ===
During these rituals, wooden sculptures and [[bark painting]]s are used as mnemonic devices to tell parts of the story and or represent the sisters.<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":8" /> Some of these objects are considered sacred and can only be accessed and made by a select group  of men.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":9" />  What limits how public the display of these objects can be is the ceremonial context not the design itself.<ref name=":2" /> The process behind making the wood-cravings is lengthy, a lot of detail goes into the [[totem]]ic painting as the specific pattern and colours used is what symbolises the connection with the ancestral being.<ref name=":0" /> These painted designs can be used and adapted to other media, such as bark painting, [[sand sculpture]], [[body painting]], etc.<ref name=":2" /> Because the story varies among clans depending on their geographical origin, the design used also changes to fit their interpretation.<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":2" />
