<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The Anangu used the land more wisely than the Tjulkura. They respected the land and believed that spirits had created the landscape. They had sacred areas for ceremonies such as the boys’ initiation ceremony and burial ceremonies. The Anangu had a special bond with nature and only used what they needed from the land for their survival. They hunted for food using spears made from trees and stone. They cared for their water holes and never wasted or polluted their water.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>On the other hand, the Tjulkura used the land carelessly and did not understand its importance to the Anangu people. For the Tjulkura, the land meant homesteads, cattle stations, money and gold. They thought the land was no man’s land to be used for whatever they fancied. They wanted to own the land so they took it over, made tracks, drew maps and built fences. Their cattle destroyed the sacred land of the Anangu and used up their food and water. The Tjulkura did not appreciate that the land was fragile and that the Anangu had cared for it for thousands of years.</FONT></P>
