Pini people

The Pini or Nana, or more specifically the Birniridjara, are an indigenous Australian people of Western Australia.

Country

Norman Tindale estimated Pini tribal lands to have encompassed approximately 14,000 square miles (36,000 km2), west of Lake Carnegie and the ephemeral Lake Wells to its south. The land took in Erlistoun Creek and Lake Darlot. Their northern frontier ran as far as Wongawol and Princes Range[1]
