Notes:Tommy Watson is a Pitjantjatjara man and was born circa 1935 at Anamarapiti, approximately 40 kilometres west of Irrunytju (also known as Wingellina). Irrunytju is situated in Western Australia near the tri-state border of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory. While growing up he learned to understand the significance of social organization and the spiritual and tribal law teachings of his ancestors. "My grandfather's country, grandmother's country, when they were alive, they would take me around the country, when I was a kid. That's why we look after the country, go out whenever we can. See if the rock holes are good."
