Mantjintjarra Ngalia

The Mantjintjarra and Ngalia[1] are Australian Aboriginal peoples belonging to the Western Desert cultural bloc. They are seeking recognition of their inherent land rights through the native title claim process in the Federal Court of Australia.[2][3] In March 2009 the Mantjintjarra Ngalia claim came a step closer to recognition after passing the stringent registration test of the Native Title Act.[4]

They are the traditional owners of the area from around Lake Wells in the east to Lake Darlot and Lake Miranda in the west to Cosmo Newberry through to Leonora and Lake Barlee up to Wiluna in the north.[5]
