The Lotiga, also known as the Okara, were an indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of North Queensland.
Country
Lotiga country, calculated to extend over some 400 square miles (1,000 km2), was situated around the upper Dulhunty tributary of the Ducie river and McDonnell Telegraph Station, between the Paterson and Moreton stations on the Cape York Telegraph Line.
People
Ursula McConnel suggested that the Okara tribe mentioned by Lauriston Sharp, as belonging to the Jathaikana type of social organization, might be the same as the Lotiga. Norman Tindale equated the two on the basis of McConnel's provisory conjecture.
