Alice Springs and its surrounding areas is the traditional country of the Arrarnte, in particular the people of Central Arrarnte. The south-east region is called Undoolya, which translates to wedge-tail eagle dreaming country. Irrarnte is the name of the red-tailed black cockatoos that live and travel through Undoolya. Of the black cockatoo species, the red-tailed black cockatoos are the most adaptable to environmental change and continue to thrive in large flocks in the driest parts of Australia. Irrarnte nest in large old eucalypts trees, and occasionally build nesting hollows in other species of gum.
Undoolya is the traditional lands of artists Patricia Ansell Dodds, Coral Hayes-Pananka, Carol Turner, Phyllis Gorey, and Amanda Turner. These five artists comprise of two generations of women from this place. Their works of art articulate stories of creation, stories of place, narratives of identity and the telling of experiences about this unique geographical location that is rich in history and knowledge.
