To the east their tribal boundaries ran to beyond Mount Arrowsmith. The southern boundaries lay around Mootwingee and Sturt Meadow.{{sfn|Tindale|1974}} CultureThe Malyangapa practiced circumcision as a rite for males undergoing initiation.{{sfn|Tindale|1974}} In their dreaming lore the primordial creator-figure, rainbow serpent was called kakurra (corresponding to the Ngatyi of the Paakantyi and the akurra of their western neighbours, the Adnyamathanha.{{sfn|Beckett|Hercus|2009a|p=17}} They shared close cultural and marriage links with the neighbouring Wanjiwalku.{{sfn|Austin|Hercus|2004|p=211}} History of contactReid states that settlement of Malyangapa lands began in 1862/1863, at which time they were thought to number 200.
