Pintupi Nine

Uncommon card · No. 187622

The Pintupi Nine are a group of nine Pintupi people who remained unaware of European colonisation of Australia and lived a traditional desert-dwelling life in Australia's Gibson Desert until 1984, when they made contact with their relatives near Kiwirrkurra. They are sometimes also referred to as "the lost tribe". The group were hailed as "the last nomads" in the international press when they left their nomadic life in October 1984, though this title would later be taken by the Richters family, who were discovered in 1986 and are to this day the last Aboriginal people known to have lived traditionally as hunter-gatherers.
