    Tjukurpa provides rules that protect this material and knowledge from inappropriate access and use by Aṉangu and other Aboriginal people. Today however, ICIP can be accessed and used by non-Aṉangu for a range of purposes.

    Aṉangu have concerns about being able to manage and control ICIP, specifically by protecting cultural material; recognising that Aṉangu are the owners of this property; having the capacity to monitor and regulate its use; and being able to benefit from sharing it.
      It is the view of Nguraṟitja that, through Tjukurpa, there should be strong links between the management of the park and adjoining lands. This is because areas in the park are closely related to cultural and natural features beyond its boundary. For example, many converging ancestral tracks and Tjukurpa stories that extend across the surrounding lands converge at Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa. Connection to these extended sites has direct implications for the practice and maintenance of Tjukurpa within the park.

      Figure 9 highlights some of the important Aṉangu sites that occur both inside and outside the park. These sites include homelands, or outstations, which are small communities built on land of particular cultural significance. There are several homelands located on the Kaṯiṯi-Petermann IPA (see Figure 9 and Figure 10) and these areas are culturally significant for Nguraṟitja. For this reason, working together with traditional owners of the surrounding lands is important for Nguraṟitja in order to help maintain the living cultural landscape and Tjukurpa both inside the park and in the surrounding region.
