Indigenous Australian people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wikatinda were an indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of northern Queensland. They were one of the Wik peoples, but their language is unattested.[citation needed]
Country
The Wikatinda were a small tribe whose territory, estimated by Norman Tindale to embrace some 200 square miles (520 km2), extended from the coastal area, south from the Archer River to a distance inland of roughly 8 miles.[1]
People
By the writing of Tindale's writing (1974) he stated that the Wikatinda were "virtually extinct".[1]
