Carbiene McDonald Tjangala was born in Papunya in 1961, son of Snowy McDonald. As a young man, Carbiene travelled back to his fa ther’s homelands and inherited his Tjukurrpa (Dreaming). This Tjukurrpa is associated with a series of waterholes running between Docker River and Kata Tjuta. Specifically, it includes four important sites: Petermann Ranges, Docker River, Kalaya Murrpu (Blood’s Range) and Mulyayti near Kata Tjuta.
