Details of Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles
About
Mr Jackie Giles was born in the late 1930's in the bush east of Kirrirrkurra, Northern Terrirtory, at a kangaroo dreaming site called Tjamu Tjamu. It was many years of walking over the country and living a nomadic life before travelling over the ranges near Docker River where he found his way to Warburton Mission, WA. By this time he was already a Nagkarri (Traditional healer), a man with great insite and intution. His father passed on the knowledge and power of spiritual insight and strength to Mr Giles. He is a senior man who travels extensively and is widely respected in the Western Desert. He lives in Patjarr Community, WA with his wife, Yumanu.
