		They had close cultural ties with their neighbours, the Yankunytjatjara to the east and the Ngaatjatjara to the west.
		The first foreign intrusion into the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands and world view occurred in 1873 with the expeditions of William Gosse and Ernest Giles who were seeking a route for the Overland Telegraph Line to the west coast of the continent.
		Pastoral leases were granted for areas to the east, in Yankunytjatjara country, but the proclamation of the North-West Aboriginal Reserve, an area of 56 721 square kilometres, in 1921, provided some protection for the lands and people in the Pitjantjatjara area.

	School of Languages
		Pitjantjatjara is one of a group of closely related Australian languages spoken in the north-western regions of South Australia (the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands) and extending into neighbouring parts of Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
		Yankunytjatjara, Antikirinya, Kukatja, Ngaanyatjara and Pintupi are the names of some of the languages that are very similar to Pitjantjatjara, while the group as a whole is known as Western Desert.
		In learning Pitjantjatjara at the School of Languages all students will not only start learning to communicate in grammatically and culturally appropriate ways but will also begin to understand something of the richness, variety, complexity and contemporary relevance of the Indigenous linguistic heritage of Australia.
