   We want people to recognise and respect our ways and to help us make our vision for the future a reality.

   Muṯitjulu community is home to many Aṉangu who have strong cultural connections to the park under Tjukurpa. The community is located approximately 1.5 kilometres from the eastern side of Uluṟu, and in 2016 there were 323 people residing there (Australia Bureau of Statistics 2016). Most people living in Muṯitjulu are Aṉangu, but a significant number of non-Aṉangu who work in the community or park also live in Muṯitjulu. The community's population can fluctuate substantially with residents travelling to neighbouring communities or relatives and visitors staying for extended periods of time.

   The Board and Director recognise the need for the community to develop in a manner that meets community aspirations and does not impact on the park's cultural and natural values. The Board also recognises that the well-being of the community is critical for the joint management of the park, and to maintain the park's living cultural landscape and cultural and natural values.

   While many Aṉangu with cultural connections to the park live in the Muṯitjulu community, Nguraṟitja and other Aṉangu live in communities on Aboriginal lands throughout the south-west of the Northern Territory, the north-west of South Australia, and in centres such as Alice Springs (see Figure 10). Despite living away from Muṯitjulu they maintain close cultural and family connections to the region. As such, engaging Aṉangu living both in Muṯitjulu and outside of the park is important for the park's joint management, including (where relevant) for addressing park management issues related to Muṯitjulu.

History of Muṯitjulu community

   The establishment of the Muṯitjulu community is related to the development of tourism at Uluṟu, which began in the 1930s and has expanded in the region ever since (see Appendix J). At that time, Aṉangu travelled widely over their ancestral lands pursuing ceremonial life, visiting family,
