The '''Pintupi''' are an [[Australian Aboriginal]] group who are part of the [[Western Desert cultural bloc|Western Desert]] cultural group and whose [[traditional owner|traditional land]] is in the area west of [[Lake MacDonald]] and [[Lake Mackay]] in [[Western Australia]]. These people moved (or were moved) into the Aboriginal communities of [[Papunya]] and [[Haasts Bluff]] in the west of the [[Northern Territory]] in the 1940s–1980s. The last Pintupi to leave their traditional lifestyle in the desert, in 1984, are a group known as the [[Pintupi Nine]], also sometimes called the "lost tribe".
Over recent decades groups of Pintupi have moved back to their traditional country, as part of what has come to be called the [[outstation movement]]. These groups set up the communities of [[Kintore, Northern Territory|Kintore]] (''Wa<u>l</u>ungurru'' in [[Pintupi language|Pintupi]]) in the [[Northern Territory]], [[Kiwirrkurra, Western Australia|Kiwirrkura]] and Jupiter Well (in Pintupi: ''Puntutjarrpa'') in [[Western Australia]]. There was also a recent dramatic increase in Pintupi populations and speakers of the Pintupi language.{{sfn|Ethnologue}}
