Wongkamala


The Wongkamala are an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.

Country

In Norman Tindale's estimate, the Wongkamala's tribal lands covered some of territory. They roamed northwest of Annandale, at Kalidawarry and around the lower Field and Hay rivers, along the Plenty river, and on the eastern margins of the Simpson Desert. River waters were ephemeral and they dug native wells.

Economy

The Wongkamala lived in areas where the pituri narcotic grew, and, aside from using it themselves, they employed it as a valuable trading resource.
