The Malintji were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland.
Country
In Norman Tindale's estimation the Malintji are considered as having held a tribal territory of approximately 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2). They were the eastern neighbours of the Maiawali, living along Vergemont Creek, as far south as the vicinity of Jundah.[1]
Social customs
The Malintji did not accept circumcision as part of their initiatory rites.
