Wenamba (WA)
|
| | Location | North of Lakes Neale and Hopkins, ranging north to Lake Macdonald and Garden Hills; west to Kurultu ('Kur-ultja) identified as probably near the Baron Range. In this area mapped positions of such features as Baron Range may vary by as much as 30 miles (50 km.). On a 1960 map it is shown at 127°12'E. The people are also called Wenamba Pintubi and are closely related to the Pintubi, but their territories are separate and they may be considered to have the status of separate tribes. Their dialects are considered different by native informants. The Pitjandjara call them ['A:wuntara] because they were supposed to answer all conversation with them with the word ['a:wu] meaning 'yes.' They consider them related. Some men of the tribe traveled to Yuendumu Government Station in 1950, went to Haast Bluff and then returned to their country. They were still nomadic in 1963. |
