Wuthathi



In Norman Tindale's reckoning, the Wuthathi, who he labelled Mutjati (a.k.a. Empikeno, Idjonyengadi, Mudjadi, Mutyati, Odadi, Ojnandi, Onyengadi, Onyengadi, Oradhi, Otati, Oyonggo, Oyungo, Umtadee, Unjadi, Unyadi, Wotadi, Wotati, Wudjadi, Wudjadi, Wundjur, Wutati, Wutati) occupied around 390 square kilometres of territory extending north from Shelburne Bay to the vicinity of Orford Ness. He regarded the Mutjati and Otati, who he described as occupying 800 square kilometres around the southern part of Shelburne Bay and east and south to the Macmillan River, inland to the headwaters of the Dulhunty as separate entities, the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia treats the two as one ethnic group, the Wuthathi.
Their language is considered to have been a dialect of the Uradhi branch of the Paman languages.
