The Unjadi (Unyadi) were an indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of northern Queensland.
According to Lauriston Sharp, the Unjadi language differed only marginally from that spoken by the neighbouring Okara. [1]
The Unjadi's traditional lands, embracing some 500 square miles (1,300 km2) of territory, lay around the upper Dulhunty tributary of the Ducie river as far north as the headwaters of the Jardine River. [2]
The American anthropologist R. Lauriston Sharp described the Unjadi as belonging to what he called the Jathaikana type with regard to their totemic organization. [3] By this he meant that the Unjadi lacked a moiety and section division. Their totemic clans were patrilineal whose totems were not normally tabu, tabus being applied rigorously only to personal totems from the mother's clan, which were assigned to male and female individuals with the onset of puberty.

The Wik peoples are an Indigenous Australian group of people from an extensive zone on western Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland, speaking several different languages. They are from the coastal flood plains bounding the Gulf of Carpentaria lying between Pormpuraaw and Weipa, and inland the forested country drained by the Archer, Kendall and Holroyd rivers. The first ethnographic study of the Wik people was undertaken by the Queensland born anthropologist Ursula McConnel. Her fieldwork focused on groups gathered into the Archer River Mission at what is now known as Aurukun.
