Djalakuru

The Djalakuru were an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.

Country

Little is known of the Djalakuru, and the extent of their land is inferred as the residue of what is unaccounted for when one has mapped the other historic tribal territories. On this principle, Norman Tindale deduced that they held sway over about 600 square miles (1,600 km2), along the coastal areas from west of Goulburn Island at Angularli Creek roughly to the vicinity of Malay Bay near Mountnorris Bay.[1]

People

The only account we have of the Djalakuru comes from an overview of the Cobourg Peninsula written by George Windsor Earl in 1846.[2]

Alternative name
  • Jalakuru.

    gollark: Democratic ones theoretically allow more input from everyone, which should lead to decisions which consider their interests more and take into account information people know, but also run into whatever issues existing democracies have plus probably exciting new ones due to presumably having a direct democracy voting on a lot of things.
    gollark: Hierarchical ones (theoretically) allow clear direction and management from the top but also lack input from lower levels and are vulnerable to the top people being wrong/bad.
