Much of our Tjukurrpa is private to ourselves because we were told by the old people to make sure it is protected and stays true. It is up to us to maintain the Tjukurrpa correctly, as passed down, to ensure the well being of our people and the land. We can sometimes share some of the stories with visitors, based on trust and relationships, but we urge outsiders not to ask too many questions or be pushy. If we tell you something it will be because we are ready and happy to do so.
