See also: Kalaako language. The Kalaako (Kalarko) were an Aboriginal Australian people of the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
Norman Tindale assigned the Kalaako tribe a reach extending over 24000mi2, running up north from Green Patch and Scaddan to beyond Widgemooltha. It takes in Mount Monger, Golden Ridge, and Burbanks. Their eastern boundary lies some west of Fraser Range, at a site mined for red ochre, known in the native language as Karkanja. Their western frontier is around the Bremer Range. The Johnston Lakes, Mount Holland, Barker Lake, Koongornin, Norseman and Salmon Gums all lie on what is Kalaako territory.
The tribes neighbouring the Kalaako are, clockwise from the north, the Maduwongga, the Tjeraridjal (n.e.), the Ngadjunmaia, the Njunga due south; the Wudjari, the Njakinjaki, and the Kalamaia to the northeast.
