SPINIFLEX PEOPLE HAVE LANDS IN THE GREAT VICTORIAN DESERT IN AUSTRALIA. THEY LEAD HUNTING GATHERING EXITENCE AND HAVE TITLE TO THEIR LAND RECOGNIZED BY A COURT DECISION IN 2000.
IN 1997 AN ART PROJECT WAS STARTED IN WHICH THEIR PAINTINGS BECAME PART OF THE TITLE CLAIM. AN EXHIBIT OF THEIR WORK IN LONDON IN 2005 BROUGHT THEM ATTENTION. THEIR NAME COMES FROM SPINIFLEX GRASS THAT GROWS IN THE DESERT. EUROPEANS CONSIDERED THIS LAND UNSUITABLE FOR LIVING.
