Alyawarre

Alyawarre are an Indigenous Australian people, or language group, from the Northern Territory.

In 1980 they lodged 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. [http://www.clc.org.au/OurLand/lrn/wakaya_alyawarre.asp]
