Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia were described as covering an area of 11,200 square miles (29,000 km2).
To the northeast, their borders lay around central Mount Stuart (Amakweng) and Harper Springs.
[5] Anmatyerr communities located within the region include Nturiya (Old Ti Tree Station), Ti-Tree Pmara Jutunta (6 Mile), Willowra, Laramba (Napperby Station) and Alyuen.
What is today known as the Anmatyerre region has significant overlap with Warlpiri, Arrernte and Alyawarr language communities.
As a specialist in Arandic culture and language T. G. H Strehlow also worked with Anmatyerr people throughout his career, recording much of their ceremonial traditions.
