Jarildekald people


The Jarildekald are an indigenous Australian people of South Australia originating on the eastern side of Lake Alexandrina and the Murray River.

The tribal name Jarildekald is said to derive from 'Jarawalangan?', a phrase meaning 'Where shall we go?', referring to a tradition according to which on migrating from the interior to the mouth of the Murray River, the tribe at that point was perplexed as to where they were to continue their travels. They were grouped as the Ngarrindjeri by the early ethnographer George Taplin, though Norman Tindale and others have argued that while his data refer predominantly to the Jarildekald. It would be mistaken to confuse them with the Narinndjeri.

Their language, known as Yarildewallin (Jaralde speech).

The lands of the Jarildekald extended over some 500 sq. miles. They were located on the eastern side of Lake Alexandrina and the Murray River, their territory running from Loveday Bay to Mobilong. Their land also encompassed the Narrung peninsula, and east to Meningie and the Cookes Plains.

The Jarildekalf people consisted of over 15 hordes.
