The following material was inserted into the main article. It may contain stuff that can be used in the article, but it lacks references and some is not relevant content for an encyclopedia article:



Information relevant to families living in this area prior to and during the "settlement movement" is available in many published works, and online.

examples:

     National Archives of Australia Records 

Where can be found:

     (1) Births, Deaths & Marriages
     (2) Census Records
     (3) Ward Records
     (4) Employment and Welfare on Pastoral Properties
     (5) Child Endowment, Maintenance and Welfare
     (6) Half-caste, Coloured and Mission Records
     (7) General, Strehlow, Medical, Leprosy
     (8) Patrol Records


Where relevant to Kintore and Pintupi history items such as:

       Patrols in Central Australia (Western Desert) 


       Report on Patrol to Lake Mackay Area June / July 1957
       Report on Fieldwork west of Papunya June-July 1962
       Desert Pintubi contacted 1962/1963
       Report on Patrol west of Papunya August 1963 by Jeremy Long
       Report on Patrol west of Papunya April 1964 by Jeremy Long 
       Movement of Western Desert Aborigines (Pintubi) into Papunya



The 1980 establishment of Kintore was delayed a few weeks in order Jeremy Long could accompany us all back to formally establish the first community at Kintore in the "Traditional Homelands" for Pintupi people.

The Commonwealth Dept Aboriginal Affairs conducted an official inquiry and report into whether the community at Kintore existed, whether it should be funded, so delayed their departments official recognition of the towns existance.

By then "Kintore NT 0872 Australia" was registered as town with a postcode.

Local government (with some name changes) at Kintore was by Walungurru Council (Aboriginal Corporation).

In October 2006 the Northern Territory Government announced the reform of local government, intention to improve and expand the delivery of services to towns and communities across the Territory by establishing eight new Shires.

Changes to NT Local Government replaced numerous small "Community Councils" with larger Local Government Authority, making Kintore now a Ward of the [MacDonnell Shire Council] http://www.macdonnell.nt.gov.au/

Kintore is located in the territory electorate of MacDonnell and the federal electorate of Lingiari.

Kintore has a school (Walungurru School), store, airstrip, health clinic, art centre and now a swimming pool.

The Kintore Police Station (what year?) replaced a long drive from Papunya, with in 2004 the first multi-jurisdicitional Police venture between NT and WA governments established at Kintore.

Roads to Kintore are still "disadvantaged" in development, graded dirt with occasional rain problems.

Kintore dial-up internet from 1990.

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Kintore, Northern Territory/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The term forcibly is not accurate.

...from which many of them had been forcibly removed decades earlier prior to weapons testing fired from Woomera in South Australia.


Relations who made these moves complained about being discouraged by Patrol Officers such as Jeremy Long from fulfilling their desires to come in to Haasts Bluff and Papunya where other relations were living. He forsaw difficulties, relations could see only better opportunity...

Re-establishing permanent community at Kintore people wanted Jeremey Long to come with us, so delaying our move a week or so till he arrived; This delay amused some who recalled "Mr Long" was late so many years earlier after his having agreed return back to Kintore so as to collect and help bring people into Haasts Bluff and Papunya.


Much appreciation exists for efforts he and others made to help everyone over so many years.

Check with Jeremy Long or Prof Fred Myers (Anthropology NYU).
