Dalaipi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalaipi[1] (c. 1795 – c. 1863) was an Aboriginal Australian elder, details of whose life and traditions are preserved in Thomas Petrie's Reminiscences of Early Queensland (1904). According to Petrie, Dalaipi was the head man of the North Pine tribe, living in what is now the Shire of Pine Rivers, north of Brisbane.[2] His mother tongue was probably Turrbal, Yugara, or Nalbo.[3]
