Editing Pitjantjatjara (section)

==History==
From 1950 onwards, many aṉangu were forced to leave their traditional lands due to [[British nuclear tests at Maralinga]]. Some aṉangu were subsequently contaminated by the [[nuclear fallout]] from the [[atomic test]]s.{{sfn|Tame|Robotham|1982}} Their experience of issues of [[Indigenous land rights in Australia|land rights]] and [[native title in Australia|native title]] in South Australia has been unique. After four years of campaigning and negotiations with government and mining groups, the ''[[Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981]]'' was passed on 19 March 1981, granting freehold title over {{cvt|103,000|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} of land in the northwestern corner of South Australia.

=== Recognition of sacred sites ===

The sacred sites of Uluru / Ayers Rock and [[Kata Tjuṯa|Kata Tjuṯa / Mount Olga]] possess important spiritual and ceremonial significance for the ''Anangu'' with more than 40 named sacred sites and 11 separate [[the Dreaming|Tjukurpa]] (or "Dreaming") tracks in the area, some of which lead as far as the sea. Uluru / Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga are separated from the Pitjantjatjara lands by the border between the [[Northern Territory]] and South Australia and have become a major tourist attraction and a [[national park]].
