Purdunan

The Purduna, or Burduna, were an Aboriginal people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia, whose country lay between the Ashburton and Gascoyne Rivers.

Their language belonged to the Kanyara group alongside Thalanyji and Bayungu, sharing sixty to seventy per cent of its vocabulary with them, though sound changes set Burduna apart from its sister tongues. Like other Kanyara peoples they lived by hunting and gathering across this arid river-country, moving between permanent waters and seasonal food grounds.
