Jetimarala / Yetimarala



After his 1940 map classified them as a clan of either the Barada or Kabalbara, Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places the Jetimarala (alternatively, Yetimarala, Yetimarla, Ja:m ba (means camp), Yaamba, Yetti maralla, Taruin-bura — “big river people,” a horde name) on 3,900 square kilometres around the Boomer and Broad Sound ranges, extending northwards from the Fitzroy River. He set their western limits at the Mackenzie and Isaac rivers.

They spoke an extinct dialect within the Biri language group.
