Ildawongga (WA)
|
| | Location | West of Lake Mackay to about Longitude 126°E; north toward a native place named Manggai which is tentatively identified as in the Stansmore Range. Manjil-djara say their country begins at Ngila, an unidentified place several days walk east of Liburu (Libral on maps, Canning Stock Route Well 37). South to about 23°30'S latitude. A group of them supposedly suffering from the effects of drought were officially removed in April 1964 from ['Pundudjaba] (Jupiter Well; 126°43'E x 22°50'S) to Papunya Station. Their name was first heard in the west as Ilda in 1953, again in 1956 from a Pintubi man at Haast Bluff and directly from a tribesman in 1964. They may have been the last of the free-living aborigines of Australia to come into Western contact. Birdsell heard two names Nabiwangka-djara and Karo from aborigines of the Kokatja tribe at the Balgo Pallotine Mission. I heard a term Orailku which may apply to this group. J. Long checked my informants data for me in the field. |
