Topic: Anangu


In the News (Fri 11 Dec 09)

  
  Anangu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anangu is a word that means "people" in a number of Australian Aboriginal languages, including, but not limited to:
Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and Ngaanyatjara refer to themselves as Anangu, which originally just meant people in general, but has now come to imply an Aboriginal person or, more specifically, a member of one of these three tribes.
In some communities, when a white person is accepted in to their community, one of the ways that they know that they are accepted is to be referred to as an Anangu.

It was also the wish of Anangu that the building design express their working together ‘as one’ with the rangers of the Australian Nature Conservation Agency (ANCA) in the joint management of the World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park.
Anangu spoke of the two serpentine buildings as representing Liru and Kuniya watching each other warily across the site of their battle.
Anangu has enriched the building enormously by superb Tjukurpa paintings on the sand walls, painted tiles and formed glass which along with ceremonial song and dance cycles, vividly introduce visitors to Anangu perception and culture, before they move off the experience the wider desert landscape.

The broader significance of an encounter with the Anangu is argued by David Tacey (On the Edge of the Sacred, 1995).
However the special contribution of the Anangu is to anchor psychic insights to the land and to embody the land in psychic insights.
It may even be fruitful to see the socio-economic deprivation of the Anangu, in contrast to the richness of their symbolic life, as mirroring in reverse the psycho-spiritual deprivation of westerners, in contrast to the richness of their socio-economic life.

Anangu have their own story from the Tjukurpa relating to the creation of Uluru, distinct from the geological story told by the Minga, the white people.

In fact, some Anangu see the report in that light: Graeme Calma, community liaison officer for the national park, says Janke's final report could be a blueprint for traditional owners in places such as Kakadu and the Devil's Marbles.
Duncan says that he can understand the Anangu and other Aboriginal groups having or seeking control of their culture in terms of "the use of their stories, the use of their paintings and all of the other things that they make by hand".
In the Anangu world view, all of these things had their origins in the Tjukurpa creation period and were in effect deeded to today's Anangu by their heroic ancestors.
