Ngintaka
2014
Book
The epic songline of Wati Ngintaka, the giant perentie lizard man, is a map for survival that is relevant today. He first sang his song as he travelled the Ananangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, creating waterholes and food sources that Ananangu rely on today. Those who follow the song know where to find water and food across a vast area of the South Australian desert.
