Locations and events of the Tingari cycle frequently occur as the subject matter of Aboriginal art from the region. In Pintupi narratives, a group of Tingari men (ancestral elders) - who were usually followed by groups of women and children - travelled over the Western Desert area performing rituals and creating the country. Deep knowledge of Tingari business is still very secretive and restricted to men in the community who hold an appropriate level of seniority. There are however public stories that do not disclose secret\/sacred knowledge.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eGeorge has continued to exhibit throughout Australia and internationally.
