Wik Iyanh

The Wikianji (Wik Iyanh) were an indigenous Australian tribe of the Cape York Peninsula of northern Queensland.

Country

[edit]

Their territory embraced an area of some 600 square miles (1,600 km2) around the middle section of the Holroyd River.[1]

Social structure

[edit]

The Wikianji were a relatively small tribe, believed to be related to the Wik-Mungkan from whom they may have at the time of early colonial exploration just splintered off, and in the process of becoming a separate tribe.[1]

Alternative names

[edit]
  • Wikianyi
  • Wik-Iyena[1]

Notes
