[edit] Requested move

There's a new poll here that would (hopefully) end all this "Indigenous" vs. "Aborigine" controversy. Feel free to vote. Zarbat 09:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More skin systems

The system shown as 'pintupi' is identical to the systems in the north, from the Daly right across the Katherine region to the Gulf, though there are at least three sets of skin terms; Tjapangardi corresponds to Jangari in the sundown system, which corresponds to Gamarrang in the east. Similarly, Jungarrayi in the Pintupi system is the same as Jungurra in the Daly and Jimija in the centre. I have no idea how to do this, but I think this page needs a graph that shows the translation from system to system. I'm pretty certain that they're structurally identical to the Pintupi (Warlpiri) system, differing only in terminology.

[edit] unclear to me what a skin group is

"Determined by the skin of one's parents." What does THAT mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.93.17.12 (talk) 18:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I have to chime in here, too. What does "Skin Group" mean? The article assumes that the reader knows what a "Skin Group" is. If someone would be so kind as to elaborate... Thanks! 63.167.255.156 (talk) 01:55, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
