Yuendumu is a remote Aboriginal community approximately 3 hours northwest of Alice Springs and is one of the largest of such communities here in Australia with a fluctuating population of 900 predominantly Walpiri-speaking Aboriginal people and roughly 100 non-Aboriginal residents. Yuendumu is internationally recognised as a prolific and important centre for the desert art movement. The community has been in the news recently due to what the locals refer to as “the trouble”. A prominent family there has been unable to carry out traditional payback punishment for the death of their brother who was murdered near the end of last year at the hands of another well-known family member. This situation has been the cause of continuing social unrest including numerous riots.
