Utopia versus Urapuntja: Which Is It?

Maps, and people at large, usually refer to this region, and the homelands, as Utopia. The name Utopia has been in use since the 1920s. It is the name given to this area by the early settlers, and that name is still reflected in the maps of Central Australia, the Northern Territory, and on Google Maps. The Aboriginal name for this area, however, is Urapuntja. That is the name that traditional owners prefer to call this region, rather than Utopia.

Although one of our services is the Utopia Art Centre, a longstanding name known in the arts scene worldwide for decades, in all other ways, we will continue to use the Aboriginal name Urapuntja, in place of Utopia.

We realise that it takes time for people to recognise that Urapuntja is Utopia. Therefore, where possible, we’ve bracketed Utopia alongside Urapuntja, to assist with that.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this website may contain images of people who have died.
