Nunga (Western Desert)

Nunga (Western Desert) refers to the Indigenous peoples and their cultural lands in the Western Desert region of Australia. They are part of the broader Walpiri, Pitjantjatjara, Anangu, and other desert communities that have lived there for thousands of years. These groups have rich, diverse cultures rooted in Dreamtime stories, art, and traditional practices connected to the land. Their life centers around maintaining their spiritual, cultural, and environmental relationships with the arid desert environment. The Nunga communities continue to preserve their heritage while engaging with contemporary Australian society.
