Language group: Pintupi
Born: c 1949
Charlie was born in the bush at Palipalintjanya North West of Jupiter Well. The NT Welfare Branch bought him and his family to Papunya in 1960. At Papunya he worked on construction projects for the community. He began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 1978. He then moved to Kintore in 1982. He moved to Kiwirrkura with his wife Numida and their children. His older sister Nanyuma Napangati and half-sister Bombatu Napangati live there as well.

About the painting - Tingari Dreaming
This painting depicts the site of Palipalintjanya North West of Kiwirrkurra in the Gibson Desert. It represents the sand hills (Thali) of the country. It was here in the Dreaming that the Tingari ancestors (men and boys) gathered in underground caves for the young men’s initiation ceremonies called malliera. Events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret and sacred nature and no further details are given. The Tingari are a group of mythological beings from the Dreamtime which travelled over vast tracts of country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites in the landscape.
