Tjirrkarli Community

Tjirrkarli is an Aboriginal community, located in the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku within the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia.

The community is located within the determined Ngaanyatjarra Lands (Part A) (WAD6004/04) native title claim area.

Tjirrkali is named after a nearby site associated with a Dreaming story about native yams.

During this time, many Aboriginals, whose family had left the region decades earlier, returned (by this period, a number of Aboriginals living at Warbuton had already left and set up an outstation called Mangi, relatively close to Tjirrkali; many moved to Tjirrkali).

[2] The community is managed through its incorporated body, Tjirrkarli (Aboriginal Corporation), incorporated under the Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976 on 24 March 1987.
