Their existence as a people was overlooked in Norman Tindale's classic 1974 survey of Australian Aboriginal tribal groups and their language is unattested.
Country
The Kurajarra were a small tribe whose territorial extension is not known other than that its heartland lay in the McKay Range (Pungkulyi) some 48 kilometres (30 mi) northwest of Kumpupintil Lake.[1] They lived between the Nyiyaparli to their west, the Wanman to the north, the Kartudjara on their eastern and southeastern side, and the Putidjara to the south.[2]
People
Like the Ngulipartu, the Kurajarra were a numerically small tribe which, under the stress of post-contact migrations and change, diminished rapidly, with many of them being absorbed into neighbouring tribes through intermarriage. Writing in 1989, Tonkinson stated that only a handful of descendants survived from the original tribe.[3]
