Alyawarre
Alyawarre otherwise known as the Iliaura, are an Indigenous Australian people, or language group, from the Northern Territory.
In 1980 the Alyawarre made a land claim with the Wakaya people, which was handed back to them on 22 October 1992. The size of the land was 2065 km².
The Utopia community, 250 km north east of Alice Springs, and set up in 1927, is partly on Alyawarre land, partly on land of the Anmatyerre.
