They wore T shirts with the words "Past present and future bought together at the Lajamanu School".
Art from the Lajamanu Warnayaka Art Centre has now been exhibited worldwide.
The artists at the centre continue to be committed to passing on the culture to the young people of the community and hold regular sessions with the local school.
Lajamanu is not on the traditional lands of the Walpiri people.
However, in the 1950s a group of Walpiri living in Yuendemu had been moved to Hooker Creek by the Government as there was a drought in the area.
The community was overcrowded and although this was not their country and after the people made several attempts to return to Yuendemu a settlement was eventually made, and it remains there today.
Beth Nungarrayi Patrick and the people of Lajamanu retain their links to the Walpiri of Yuendemu.
