The Panyjima, also known as the Pandjima/Banjima, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Language

[edit]

The Panyjima speak one of the Ngayarda sub-group of the Pama-Nyungan languages. The number of speakers was estimated in 2002 to be around fifty.[1]

Country

[edit]

According to Norman Tindale, the Panyjima held sway over 6,600 square miles (17,000 km2) of tribal territory. They dwelt on the upper plateau of the Hamersley Range and as far south as the Fortescue River. Their eastern frontier lay at Weeli Wolli Creek, near Marillana. Their southern limits lay around Rocklea and on the upper branches of Turee Creek, as ran east as far as the Kunderong Range.[2]

History of contact

[edit]

Before the period of contact with European, the highlander Kurrama pressured them out to shift east as far as Yandicoogina and the Ophthalmia Range, a movement which in turn drove the Mandara and Niabali eastwards.[2]
