Anangu

Anangu is a self-designation of various Australian tribes of Aborigines in the Western Desert region in the central south-west of Australia, in the Pitjantjatjara Lands and Uluru - Kata Tjuta in the National Park.

The term comes from the Anangu indigenous languages ​​spoken there and originally meant " man ". After the arrival of white conquerors, however, changed its meaning and so Anangu now commonly referred to an Aboriginal as opposed to a white non- Aboriginal. The tribes who live in the Western Desert region and use Anangu as a self-designation, include mainly the Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Ngaanyatjarra and the.

It is for a white man, a sure sign of acceptance, if it is called Anangu within an Aboriginal community and thus regarded as second to none.
