Darby Jampijinpa Ross (c. 1905 – 14 March 2005) was a respected Warlpiri elder who was born at Ngarnayarlpirri in the Tanami Desert. He had responsibility for many Jukurrpa and spent much of his life at Yuendumu. He was a founding member of the Warlukurlangu Artists who he began painting for in 1985.[1][1][2]
He is often referred to as one of the last 'old people' at Yuendumu to really know the country, the songs, the names of the plants and animals and to have traversed large tracts of land on foot. Many Warlpiri songs, dances, stories, words pictures and place names died with him.[3]
