THE STORY BEHIND THE TRIODIA NAME
In tribal language, the spinifex or Triodia bush is called Awilura – pronounced
A-wil-u-ra.
Spinifex is the dominant vegetation across our traditional country. Spinifex is also known as the Triodia plant.
The Gordon family belong to Pila Nguru people of the Great Victoria Desert in WA. The Pila Nguru are often referred to as the ‘Spinifex people’.
Our tribes are connected to the Pilki, Ngala and Mantjintjarra people, and our family traces right back through Anangu country (pronounced as arn-ung-oo), home to Uluru.
Traditionally, the Triodia plant is an important resource and survival asset. Its sticky resin was used as a powerful adhesive for tools and shelter.
Tough and adaptable, Triodia survives long periods without rain.
