Country
Norman Tindale's estimate of the Wakaya's territory assigns them some 15,000 square miles (39,000 km2).[1]
Social economy
The Wakaya were one of the Australian peoples, the others being the Watjarri, Wanman, Pitjantjatjara, Ngadadjara and Alyawarre, who are known to have harvested purslane seeds, and threshed them within stone circles for the oily nutrients they provided.[2]
