The tour bus guide pointed out sacred sites and shared the uses of flora and fauna as we drove around Uluru. We also took guided walks into a Multijulu waterhole and viewed Aboriginal rock paintings before we visited the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre where we read about the Tjukurpa. This Aboriginal law and religious heritage is the foundation for the Anangu (brown) culture.
A Multijulu Foundation has been set up to provide assistance to the “people” in matters of health, education and poverty relief. Tjukurpa has taught the community how to navigate the outback, find food, punish crime and has guidlines for interaction and respect.
It was a moving experience for me to momentarily be a part of the brotherhood of men and women in theland “down under.”
