Country

According to the estimation made by Norman Tindale, the Kuyani held sway over some of tribal land, extending northwards from Parachilna to the western flank of the Flinders Ranges at Marree. Their northeastern boundary was at Murnpeowie. They also occupied the area to the north of, but not including, Lake Torrens. Their western frontier lay at Turret Range and Andamooka.
The Kuyani around Beltana and Leigh Creek were known as the Adjnjakujani from a word, adjna meaning "hill," while those near Lake Torrens were called plainspeople
