'Kakutungutanta to Warrie Outcamp; 40,000 years in Nyiyaparli Country tells the story of Nyiyaparli people in the eastern Chichester Range and around the Fortescue Marsh, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The book brings together Nyiyaparli traditional knowledge with information from archaeology and history. Stories about some of the special places in Nyiyaparli country explain how Nyiyaparli people have lived and looked after their country for thousands of years.'
' In 2010, Nyiyaparli people working with archaeologists found Kakutungutanta in the eastern Chichester Range. They were excited to discover that people first camped in this small rockshelter more than 40,000 years ago. Kakutungutanta is one of thousands of archaeological sites which have been recorded in the area. These help tell the story of Nyiyaparli country and people. Places like Warrie Outcamp, where Nyiyaparli families working in the pastoral industry lived, bring the story to the present.
Today, Nyiyaparli people work with mining companies, and with anthropologists and archaeologists, to look after special places like these.' (Source: Academia.edu website)
