The Madoitja or Tjupany were an Aboriginal Australian people of Western Australia.
Language
[edit]The Madoitja language was one of the Wati languages.[1]
Location
[edit]The Madoitja lands, according to an inference from contiguous areas by Norman Tindale, ranged over some 9,000 square miles (23,000 km2) of territory, from east of the Three Rivers and Old Peak Hill to Lakes King and Nabberu. Their southern confines lay around Cunyu, touching on the northwestern border of Millrose. They lay north-northeast of the Wajarri.[2]
