Notes:
Dinny Nolan TjampiTjinpa was born near present-day Yuendumo in the early 1920s. He has stated that he is a survivor of the Coniston Massacre (the last officially condoned massacre of Aboriginal people, in which about 70 Warlpiri people were killed in 1928). He is a senior lawman and a recognized leader for Rainmakig and Water Dreaming ceremonies. He was among the first men to put the traditional body paintings and sand drawings on canvas. Dinny Nolan's art is characterized by his predominant use of natural ochre colours, and the designs he utilizes are the same he paints on the bodies of men taking part in ceremonies.
