Wilkinkarra - Mitjili Gibson Napanangka

Wilkinkarra is the Pintupi name for Lake Mackay. This area is Mitjili’s traditional country and is the region where she lived pre-contact.

Mitjili’s family would camp on the Walatu (islands of the lake) and then go into the surrounding bush to hunt. One of their main camps was called “Parrailpit”, a large wetland area with many eucalyptus trees.
