Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta

The Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta is a council of senior Aboriginal women from Coober Pedy, South Australia.[1][2] They protest against Government plans to dump radioactive waste in their land, and for the protection of their land and culture.[3]

The council was formed in 1995 by Eileen Kampakuta Brown, Eileen Wani Wingfield and other Aboriginal elders. The elders come from the Arabana, Kokatha, Yankunytjatjara and Antikarinya peoples.[4] Kupa Piti is the Indigenous name for Coober Pedy; kunga tjuta means 'many woman' in the Western Desert language.[5]

Brown and Wingfield were awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2003 for their efforts.[6]

In August 2004 the Australian government abandoned its plans for the nuclear waste dump, after a court decision.[2]
