The Aboriginal traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Anangu, have looked after this country, for tens of thousands of years.
Aboriginal use of these lands is reflected in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta landscape, which is listed as a World Heritage area of outstanding universal value, and through a subsequent nomination, as a cultural landscape.
Many places in the park are of enormous spiritual and cultural importance to the traditional owners. Two of these places, Uluru-Kata Tjuta, have become major symbols for Australia.
