Curator’s notes

The openness with which the Pitjantjatjara share cultural information is non confrontational, and anyone unfamiliar with Indigenous culture would not feel threatened by their ignorance on the subject. It seems the Pitjantjatjara people’s intention is that visitors at least begin to feel a connectedness with land that perhaps they did not feel before.
