It is in the north of the APY, between [[Umuwa, South Australia|Umuwa]] and [[Nyapari, South Australia|Nyapari]]. It is at the base of the [[Musgrave Ranges]], about {{convert|250|km}} west of the [[Stuart Highway]]. Amata was established under the name of '''Musgrave Park''' in 1961. The community was set up to take the pressure off the growth of nearby [[Pukatja, South Australia|Pukatja]] (then known as Ernabella). The goal was to use it to teach the Aborigines in how to work in the [[livestock]] industry. A school was opened 7 years later, in 1968. About 319 people lived at Amata in the 2006 [[census]]. It appears to have a growing population, which is not the usual pattern for [[Indigenous Australians|Aboriginal]] communities in Australia. From 180 residents in 1981, it has grown steadily past 350 in the 1990s,<ref>{{cite web|first=John| last=Summers| website= School of Political and International Studies Flinders University|url=http://www.sapo.org.au/binary1001/The.pdf| title= Refereed paper presented to the Australasian Politic
