Yamatji (or Yamaji) is a Wajarri word that has at least two different meanings:
- a member of the Wajarri people[1]
- any Aboriginal Australian from the Murchison region of Western Australia.[2][lower-alpha 1]
Yamatji peoples were involved in a large native title claim since 1996, resulting in an historic determination in February 2020, involving both native title and an Indigenous land use agreement covering an area of 48,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi).
