Inhabiting a very remote part of Australia, the Pintupi were among the last Aboriginal Australians to leave their traditional lifestyle. For many, this occurred as a result of the Blue Streak missile tests. As these would have a trajectory landing in the desert areas known to still be inhabited it was decided that these people should be relocated. A number of trips were made to the area and Aboriginal people were located and moved (or encouraged to move) in to one of the settlements on the eastern fringe of the desert, such as Haasts Bluff, Hermannsburg and Papunya. The Blue Streak missile was a British ballistic missile designed in 1955. ...

In practice, this meant relocation from their traditional lands and suppression of their language, art and culture. The 1960s decade refers to the years from 1960 to 1969, inclusive. ...
