Justine Anderson is Anangu, an Aboriginal person from the Central Desert area of Australia. She grew up in Finke, a community in the Northern Territory, south of Alice Spring where she works in the health clinic.

Her skills have been passed on by her mothers and other family members through the Tjukurpa, the Law and way of life governing her country.
