Article: A New Generation of Ngangkari Share Their Stories

A New Generation of Ngangkari Share Their Stories

A New Generation of Ngangkari Share Their Stories

In 2013, ngangkari shared their stories for the first time in Traditional Healers of Central Australia: Ngangkari – a collection of firsthand accounts tracing personal histories from pre-contact times to the present. Over the past 18 months, the Ngangkari Program has been working on a new edition of this much-loved book. Launched in November 2025, the new edition continues to honour the history of ngangkari practice in the region and the traditional healers who have come before, while sharing a new collection of the life stories and artworks of practising ngangkari alongside stunning portrait photography.

New stories, including photography and interviews with ngangkari and their families, span several communities, including Iwantja, Amata, Pukatja, Pipalyatjara, Papulankutja, Irrunytju and Kaltjiti.

Supported by Anangu Communities Foundation and Aboriginal Investment NT, the book is a key part of the Ngangkari Program’s striving to value and maintain Anangu healing traditions and support Anangu-led cultural maintenance, and to educate non-Anangu health professionals and the general public about Aboriginal worlds and ways of approaching health and healing. Book sales directly support the work of NPYWC ngangkari and the Ngangkari Program. You can find the book in our online store from November 2025.

Watiku Tjina Ankunytja (Men’s Walk)

Watiku Tjina Ankunytja (Men’s Walk)

This Anangu-led initiative, supported by NPY Women’s Council’s Uti Kulintjaku Watiku initiative, addressed intergenerational learning. The walk was made possible by the efforts of several Aboriginal organisations working together with the common aim of creating an opportunity for senior Aṉangu men to share knowledge and experience with younger men as they travelled through Aṉangu country by foot.
