"I feel so good to come home and show my family where we lived. Teaching and showing them where we walked a long time ago, and our knowledge of the water places." Nola, Pujiman (desert-born) Elder.

During the 2023 Kalyuku Ninti trip, 59 traditional owners from Martu and Kulyakartu native title determinations visited Wirnpa, one of the most powerful ancestral beings of the Jukurrpa (Dreaming). The purpose of the visit was to educate the younger generations about Wirnpa and the importance of respecting and caring for him and Country.

Martu from Jigalong, Parnngurr, Punmu, Kunawarritji, and Newman communities came together to celebrate their remarkable Elders and participate in the KJ Martu Cup.

KJ has strong partnerships with a number of organisations. These long-term partnerships are based on a shared vision, respect, mutual trust and a desire to assist Martu in looking after country and culture. The knowledge and skills contributed by each partner have served to foster outcomes that would be difficult to achieve for either partner alone. See and hear from Martu about some of the highlights of KJ’s activities for the past year.
