​​Tasman  Kleingeld  Tjapaltjarri

Tasman Kleingeld Tjapaltjarri 
(Walmajarri, Western Australia)
​Tasman’s family come from the Mullen and Balgo communities of Western Australia, bearing ties to the Warlpirri and Ngarti tribes and belonging to the Walmajarri people from Paraku (Lake Gregory) in the Tanami Desert. Tasman’s artwork is a reflection of his family’s strong connection to country. They feature totems, totemic designs and reference important Dreamtime stories. Tasman describes the cultural and community significance of these stories by explaining that “spirits are there to guide us on Mother Earth to be the best we can.”

Jintipirrirn Dreaming 
​
This painting (Story) has been passed down from my grandmother (Jaja) Ivy Robertson Nungarri to me Tasman Kleinfeld.   This painting is the creation of Lake Gregory (Paruku) my home land. The center is the lake and the others are the rivers and rock holes that run off the lake.
"Jintipirrirn", meaning Willy Wagtail, was the creator of this Land going back to Dreamtime.


Medium:  painting in various traditional ochre colors of the region. 
Size: 100 x 73cm - NFS

Walmajarri

I, Tasman Tjapaltarri belong to Walmajarri people who are from Paraku (Lake Gregory) in the Tanami Desert of Western Australia.
Paraku is an Indigenous protected area and has more species of bird life than any other lake in Australia. My family comes from the Mullen community and the Balgo community. My Grandfather and mother who are of the stolen Generation reside there. I have ties to the Warlpirri and Ngarti tribes also.

Jintipirrirn
Jintipirrirn is my Great-Great Grandfather which means Willy Wagtail, he was an old man and traditional owner of Paraku. He returned home to Paraku to find a corroborree going on, the tribe was unaware who Jintipirrirn was and refused to share food with him. Jintipirrirn was angry and sang to bring rain and flooding, everyone in the tribe started drowning, Jintipirrirn brought Two Serpents from the lake that ate them and spat their bones out. The bones of the tribe are scattered at the place called Kiji, near Paraku, which means bones.
Walmajarri people are descendents of Jintipirrirn.
Written and painted by Tasman Kleingeld Tjapaltjarri.

Lake Gregory from space, September 1993. The main body of the lake appears bluish-turquoise in the center of the picture. The multi-braided channels (upper right) that feed water into Lake Gregory from the northeast are part of the Sturt Creek drainage system. There appears to be an excess of standing water in the channels (muddy-looking, yellowish) north and west of the main part of the lake. The surrounding landscape consists of grasslands with numerous sand ridges (thin, dark, parallel lines on the lower left side of the image).LocationWestern AustraliaCoordinates20°12′S 127°27′ECoordinates: 20°12′S 127°27′E[1]BasinAustralia
Picture
Lake Gregory (aka Paraku) is an inland drainage lake situated in north-eastern Western Australia between the Great Sandy Desert and the Tanami Desert in North Western Ausrtalia. It is usually fresh water, but can become saline after a number of dry years. It has a fairly regular inflow of water and is considered to be a permanent lake.

Lake Gregory is situated on the edge of Mulan Aboriginal Community, home to the Walmajarri people. It is a traditional site to the people, containing several culturally significant sites. The Paraku Indigenous Protected Area works with traditional owners and rangers to monitor and maintain the lake and its surroundings.
