[edit] Number of people

It would be good to have an estimate of the number of people in this group, even an approximation. Rmhermen 15:38, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't think anyone knows. The size of the area is enormous and visitors don't go there for a very good reason...

21 families applied for Native Title for the Spinifex lands.

[edit] Article title Spinifex people or Pila Nguru

The article was moved, according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions. --Eleassar777 20:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Good to know, but would you mind stating where it was moved from? I can't seem to find a way to get this information. — flamingspinach | (talk) 22:20, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

[edit] Move Back Page Request

Spinifex People is the name of the tribe: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Not sure why this was moved without discussion? SeanMack 13:35, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

As everyone I have my bad edits too and offer you my apology for moving without asking. I did what I saw most appropriate. Perhaps you can still move the article back by using "move" and then have a discussion of the name. If not, the article will be under the title reached by voting in a week. --Eleassar777 14:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 14:26, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Naming of articles

see the discussion at Talk:Indigenous_Australians#Naming_of_groups

[edit] Nullabor?

Did they live in the Nullarbor plain itself? I thought it was uninhabited? Astrokey44 08:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

No, their country is to the north and north-west of the Nullarbor Plain. My understanding is that the Nullarbor Plain is part of the country of the Mirniny people. Dougg 01:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maralinga people?

I'm pretty sure that the family closest to the Maralinga bomb trials (at Nurrari Lakes) were Yankunytjatjara people, not Spinifex people as is implied. I'll check this. Dougg 01:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
