Homeland of the Aranda.

          Where do the Arrente people live? What part/parts of Australia? Looking at the photo of the map above, there are areas that are shaded in brown and green, which are the different locations of the Aranda tribe. The shaded green areas are where the people are living the more modern life and surrounded/living with many other different cultures and different people. The brown areas are where the tribes are living in a more traditional life style, however, they do have some modern traits that will be discussed later on through the text. 

          The Arunte tribe take pride to their land and keep their homeland and landscapes as natural as nature makes it. Reasons are because they do not want to disrespect their ancestors or mother nature and her creatures. Today, in modern times, the tribe (and the many other Aboriginal tribes) focus on keeping their most sacred land sage, the Urulu, also known as Ayers Rock (the picture below).  Many people from around the world come to visit Australia and come tour the Urulu, so the tribes, the tour guides, and the national park keep the Ayers Rock safe, natural, and untouched by the harm of outsiders. 

          Ayers Rock is a large sand-stone rock in the Southern part of Central Australia. Which does land in apart of the brown area in the photo above. Urulu is very sacred, as stated before, to the Aranda people (and the other Aboriginal tribes) because of their ancestors stories, the tourists attractions, most of their bush foods (which will be discussed in another blog) came from, and this is where most of the tribes hunting took/takes place.
