Antikirrinya elder Ingkama Bobby Brown was born on Ingomar Station south of Coober Pedy in South Australia about 1940, the son of an Arrernte stock worker and Antikiirinya mother. Bobby was taught traditional culture amd language by members of his family as he grew up. Apart from station work Bobby has taught across several schools in South Australia, worked with the late ethnomusicologist Cath Ellis at the University of Adelaide, and has interpreted for the Magistrate’s Court of South Australia. For many years he has worked with Dr Petter Naessan, a linguist from Norway, who is now a Research Associate in Linguistics at the University of Adelaide. Together Bobby and Petter have developed a simplified process of writing Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara language. As well as Aboriginal language this book covers aspects of the eco-history and Antikirrinya oral history of Ingkama (Ingomar Station) and surrounding areas of South Australia. The initial idea for this book came from Bobby, who wanted to make sure that tjamula kamila arangka, ‘the ways of the grandparents’, could be documented for future generations.
