The Kurdaitcha, also known as the Kurdaitcha man, is a ritual 'executioner' in the culture of Aboriginal Australian people, especially the Arrernte people in Central Australia. The duty of a Kurdaitcha is to avenge one's death by killing the deceased's enemies, often using magic. Stories are told of how the executions were carried out, and while there is some truth to these stories, other parts are believed to be based purely on imagination.
