Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula


Turkey was born Ca 1942 about five miles East of Haasts Bluff. Turkey's family had been moving between traditional country around Kintore and Hermannsburg mission, where they could collect rations of flour, tea and sugar, and after Turkey's birth they remained in the area around Haast's Bluff. Only when Papunya was being established and there was work to be had building the settlement, did the family come in from the bush. This was in 1959, which was shortly after Turkey's initiation to manhood.
