The Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands (APY Lands) in remote north-west South Australia, encompasses over 103,000 square kilometres of desert country and houses ten communities and homelands with a population of over 3000 people.

At a very young age, Anangu children across the APY Lands are taught their ancient culture through the Tjukurrpa or the Dreaming. Passed on through their grand parents, parents, aunties, uncles and extended family, the Tjukurrpa story is re-told orally, visually and through performance. This is expressed through Inma or ceremony, providing Anangu children with a strong sense of belonging to their country, and by their connection to people, place and the ancient spiritual world.

View this life-size-photo at Tandanya and ask your students what gives them a sense of belonging in their community? How is their family history recorded and shared with future generations?

Bookings not required for this exhibition.
