It is about {{convert|530|km|abbr=on}} west of [[Alice Springs]] and close to the border with [[Western Australia]]. Almost all the people who live there are [[Australian Aborigine|Aboriginal]], and most are [[Pintupi]]. Kintore was founded in 1981. Many Pintupi people who lived in the community of [[Papunya]] (to the east) decided to move back to their own country. They had been forced to leave these lands decades before because of [[weapons testing]] at [[Woomera Prohibited Area|Woomera]] in [[South Australia]]. Kintore is a major centre for the [[Western Desert art movement]], which began at Papunya during the 1970s. The paintings made here are visual descriptions of [[dreamtime]] stories. They have gained fame around the world. A number of members of the Aboriginal art school [[Papunya Tula]] live at Kintore. {{geo-stub}} [[Category:1981 establishments in Australia]] [[Category:Towns in the Northern Territory]] [[Category:Indigenous Australian communities]] [[Category:Pintupi]]
