(Redirected from Putidjara)

The Putijarra are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Country

[edit]

Putijarra territory, in Norman Tindale's estimation, extended over 52,000 square kilometres (20,000 sq mi). They were to be found south of Lake George, and east to Kolajuru, and beyond the southeast of Kumpupintil Lake, latterly at Mendel in the direction of the Hutton Range. The frontier with the Mandjildjara lay at Tjundutjundu well on the Canning Stock Route. When drought struck they would press south to Kadidi near Lake Augusta, and the moon totem (raga)soak called Tjangara. Their most southerly boundary was at Pulburumal, the twelfth waterhole on the Canning Stock Route. Their border with the Kartudjara was at Lawulawu (Canning Stock Route Well 16).[1]
