<p>I argue that dominant conceptions of democracy are fundamentally human-centric and fail to account for the landscapes, peoples, and pragmatic realities from which collective life emerges. Drawing on observations from the Uluru landscape and informed by A<i>n</i>angu understandings of their <i>Tjukurpa</i>, I aver that democracies exist within the landscape itself, rooted in the interconnectedness of all beings and the land. Employing an ethn/etho-logy method to study human/non-human sociability, I examine the controversial case of Arabian Camels who live on Uluru’s red, spinifex, landscape. My argument contrasts colonial views, which often frame Camels as pests, with A<i>n</i>angu perspectives and certain cultural perspectives that are foreign to the Continent many call Australia that accord the Camel respect and sometimes view them as sacred. A democracy rationalised from this landscape, which I term a type of red democracy, is defined by the absence of human authority and a requirement of living with, not over, beings and the land, which requires respect for all as the value in prime. Actions like state-sanctioned Camel extermination, but also Camels destroying human property, are presented as examples of tyranny violating this value. My essay concludes in saying that it is only in grounding democracy in the land, and by rationalising democracy with the life entangled in that land (human and non), that we can approach solutions to problems, like the Camel, without destructive tyranny.</p>
