Indigenous group in Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nakako are an Aboriginal Australian people of Western and Southern Australia.
Norman Tindale estimated the Nakako territorial domains to stretch 19,000 square miles (49,000 km2), south and southwest of the Papulankutja (Blackstone Ranges).[1] Tindale's estimates, particularly for the peoples of the Western desert, are not considered to be accurate.[2] Tindale also states that the Nanako were present at Bell Rock Range.[1]
The Nakako were one of the last groups of people to come within the purview of white explorers. Their first encounter with white explorers occurred sometime around 1953 when patrol officer Walter MacDougall came across them at Woomera. After this initial encounter, they vanished, until they were rediscovered by white settlers in 1961.[1]
