A buka (also boka or booka) is a cloak traditionally worn by Noongar peoples, the Indigenous peoples of south-west Western Australia, and by the Indigenous peoples of South Australia. Unlike in the south-east, where peoples such as Yorta Yorta wore possum-skin cloaks, Noongar peoples generally use the pelt of the kangaroo.
