Nolie was born in the bush between Irrunytju and Tjuntjuntjara
some time around 1970. His family was still living a traditional
nomadic life when they walked into Tjuntjuntjara, a community
at the edge of the Great Victoria Desert in WA in the
1980s. Nolie was twelve years old. Anangu (Aboriginal
people from the region) affectionately call Nolie 'bush
boy', and give him respect for his depth of cultural knowledge
usually reserved for a much older man. |
