on first seeing toll, a white man, warlimpirrnga remembers, "i couldn't believe it. i thought he was a devil, a bad spirit. he was the colour of clouds at sunrise." yalti thought the white man was a spirit sent to punish her for something she had done wrong. the family were very scared. they tried to run and hide from the trackers. warlimpirrnga tried to attack them, but freddy west was able to calm him by showing him how they were related. the trackers gave the family jam from a tin and pieces of chocolate to eat. they convinced the family to come with them to kiwirrkurra. they told them that there was lots of food and that water came out of pipes. yalti said that this concept was unbelievable to them.
