The Pakadji people, also known by the southern tribal exonym as the Koko Yao (Kuuku Ya'u), were an Indigenous Australian group of Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland.{{sfn|Tindale|1974}} The ethnonym Koko Ya'o is said literally to mean 'talk, speech' (koko/kuku) 'this way' (ya'o),{{sfn|Thomson|1933|p=458}} though this has been questioned.{{efn|Wood argues that Thomson's Demonstrative-based paradigm, though functional for several related languages, doesn't fit Kuku Wanju, and suggests that 'the names meant 'language which uses the form X' rather than 'like this'.'{{sfn|Wood|2016|p=342}} }}

Language

Pakadji is one of the Umpila group of dialects within the North Cape York Paman languages. They had a highly developed sign language, but used generally only one hand, with rapid movements, and little secondary reinforcement by physical or facial tics or gestures.{{sfn|Kendon|1988|p=45}}

Country

Pakadji territory embraced roughly an area of 1,300 sq. miles around Weymouth Bay, the Pascoe River, and Temple Bay. It reached northwards as far as Cape Grenville; and ran to the southeast at Cape Weymouth. Inland it extended to the Dividing Range.{{sfn|Tindale|1974}}

Lifestyle and economy

The Pakadji were one of the Kawadji, or sandbeach people. These coastal tribes basically exploited the rich food resources on and off the sea-line facing the Coral Sea. The year was divided into two seasons, the kawali or dry season that began with the onset of the south-east trade winds, from April through to November, and wullo wantjan/wullo waiyin ('when thunder cries') the season ushered in with the arrival of the northwest monsoon, beginning in late November/early December. In the kawali period they were often venture inland to harvest vegetables (mai'yi), yams (dampu) and bush honey, and construction materials like spear wood and weaving grasses.{{sfn|Thomson|1933|pp=457–458}}

Ceremonies

Donald Thomson gained the confidence of the Pakadji while spending 4 months with them during the season in which their initiation ceremonies (Okainta) were held, and was permitted to be present during the rites.{{sfn|Thomson|1933|p=458}} He focused in particular on stories related to Iwayi (Old Man Crocodile).{{sfn|Rigsby|Chase|2014|p=326}}

Some words
