Portaulun people

The Portaulun were an indigenous Australian people of South Australia.

Country

The Portaulun's territory was estimated by Norman Tindale to encompass roughly 300 square miles (780 km²), along the western bank of the Murray River from Wood Hill to Wellington and Pomanda Point. Their westward extension ran to Grote Hill.^[1]

Social organization

The Portaulun were divided into clans, the name of two of which are known:-

Warawalde
Welindjeri

The Welindjeri name is a post-colonial, being formed on the introduced toponym of Wellington, and thus meaning 'belonging to the Wel.'^[2]

History of contact

The last Portaulun full-blood was David Ngunaiponi, who died in 1967.^[1]

Notable people

David Unaipon.
