The Malyangaapa are an Indigenous Australian people who live in the far north western areas of the state of New South Wales.
[1] Malyangaapa country extends over some 5,900 square miles (15,000 km2) with its centre at Milparinka around the head of Yancannie Creek.
[2] In their dreaming lore the primordial creator-figure, rainbow serpent was called kakurra (corresponding to the Ngatyi of the Paakantyi and the akurra of their western neighbours, the Adnyamathanha.
[4] Reid states that settlement of Malyangapa lands began in 1862/1863, at which time they were thought to number 200.
Within the decade this figure dropped by a quarter (150), and after 15 years of contact (1879), Reid estimated only roughly 60 had survived, half of whom were under fourteen.
