The Anangu, or Anangu (pronounced angyangu) people of Australia, are the indigenous group found in the remote outback of northwest South Australia. Comprising the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people, the Anangu are recognised as the traditional owners of around 103,000 square kilometres of arid land in the far northwest of South Australia.
Uluru is a massive sandstone rock in central Australia that is sacred to the native Anangu people
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is owned by the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of the land. In 1985, the Australian government returned the title of Uluru to the Anangu as part of a land rights agreement. The site is jointly managed by the Anangu and Parks Australia, with the Anangu maintaining cultural practices and responsibilities for the area.
The Aboriginal people speak Anangu and English is also widely spoken.

You can, as of 2013. However, the Anangu people of Central Australia request that you respectfully do not climb Uluru. The landform is of spiritual significance to them. To put it simply, it is rather like when one does not want other people climbing all over the altar in their church.
