The Yarluyandi, also known as Jeljendi, are an Aboriginal Australian people of north-eastern South Australia.
Country
[edit]In Norman Tindale's calculations, the Yarluyandi had some 18,000 square kilometres (6,900 sq mi) of land within their tribal domain, taking in the Mulligan River south of Annandale to Alton Downs. Their western confines were in the vicinity of Atna Hill,[1] while their eastern extension went as far as Birdsville and the Diamantina River.[2]
Native title
[edit]The Yarluyandi now form an aggregate with the Wangkangurru people, and are represented by the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi Aboriginal Corporation.[3] Their native title over a large area of the Simpson Desert was recognised in 2014.[4]
Language
[edit]The Yarluyandi language was closely related to the Ngamini language.
