Wanman people
The Wanman were an indigenous Australian people of Western Australia's Pilbara region.
The Wanman's territory (waran) extended over some 9,400 square miles (24,000 km2). Their southern boundary lay around the McKay Range and the area of Lake Disappointment. Westwards, it reached Wadurara on the Rudall River. The northern frontier lay in the vicinity of Lake Dora/Walerelere, Mendidjildjil and Karbardi, while they were present eastwards as far as the George, Wooloomber and Auld lakes. The change to from their beloved claypan lakes country (tjapipodari] to mulga terrain in the south marked a limit beyond which they thought danger lay.
As often natural features can mark a kind of informal boundary between tribes. With the Wanman, that boundary in the south was delineated by the transition from their clumpy porcupine grassland to the thick mulga shrubland of the Kartudjara. The onset of drought would push them northwest, to around Karbardi and Pulburukuritji, and Kalamilji. Their harsh almost treeless sandhill landscape was mostly devoid of larger game like emu and kangaroo, though the hare wallaby and opossum, if caught, would provide some meat. Its poor grassland constrained the Wanman to develop grass-milling in order to eke out food from seeds, one of the few Australian tribes, such as the Ualarai and the Pila Nguru, who resorted to this technique A list of the primary foods was provided to Norman Tindale by one tribesman:
Portulaca seeds, once harvested, were worked in stone-rings The kitibaru also served as a digging stick to forage for marsupial moles. String spun from animals or hair, worn around the waist, was used to lasso lizards, and then hitch them to a string belt to bring back to the campsite.
