Walala Tjapaltjarri Year of birth: 1960 Place of birth: Marua, east of Kiwirrkura, Gibson Desert, WA Language: Pintupi In 1984, Walala made international headlines when his family, known in the media as ‘The Lost Tribe’ or ‘Pintupi Nine’, walked out of the wilderness 700 km west of Alice Springs and made contact with the outside world for the very first time. Until then, he lived the traditional and nomadic life of a hunter-gatherer. Walala developed his own style to tell secret/sacred Tingari stories. These ancestors are linked to young men’s initiation. They travelled the land and shaped important ceremonial sites for which Walala is a guardian. They are Maruwa, Tarrku and Wilkinkarra in the Gibson desert and are marked by significant rockholes, sacred mountains and sandhills.
