Atjinuri

The Atjinuri were an indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland.[1][2]

Country

The Atjinuri's land covered roughly 700 square miles (1,800 km²) running south along the upper Ducie River to the upper Wenlock River.[3]

Alternative names

• Adjinadi.
• Itinadjana, Itinadyana, Itinadyand.
• Nedgulada.
• Imatjana.
• ?Ulwauwudjana.[lower-alpha 1]
• Ulwadjana.[3]

Notes

1. Tindale considered that Ursula McConnel's reference ([4] ) to the Ulwauwutjana (or Ebawudjena) was probably a reference to the Atjinuri.[3]
