Alice Springs is the half circle at the top of the painting.
The visiting researcher travels from Alice Springs to the
community. In the middle is a community meeting. The white
U shapes are the visiting researchers sitting down with
community leaders to explain and to ask permission. The
community leaders say OK. Then the visitors go out to talk
with families in the community and in outstations. They go
with local Nintiringtjaku workers (brown footsteps).
They sit down and explain and ask questions and listen. The
Nintiringtjaku workers explain in language and English so
everyone understands. The Nintiringtjaku workers help people
to talk up about what is OK to write down and what is private.
