The Wikatinda were a small tribe whose territory, estimated by Norman Tindale to embrace some 200 square miles (520 km2), extended from the coastal area, south from the Archer River to a distance inland of roughly 8 miles.[1]

People

By the writing of Tindale's writing (1974) he stated that the Wikatinda were "virtually extinct".[1]
