The Pintupi, a hunting-and-gathering people of Australia's Western
Desert, were among the last Aborigines to come into contact with
white society. Despite their extended relocation in central
Australian settlements, they have managed to preserve much of their
traditional culture and social organization. This book presents a
comprehensive ethnographic interpretation of the ways in which
Pintupi politics, cosmology, kinship systems, nomadic patterns, and
social values reinforce and sometimes contradict each other.
