Calyute was an Aboriginal resistance leader and a man of the Pinjareb group, then known as the Murray River tribe, who were based about 100 kilometres south of Perth. Calyute had two brothers, Woodan (also known as Jungil) and Yanmar, and two wives, known as Mindup and Yornup or Yamup. Calyute had two sons, Monang and Ninia.
Calyute was involved in heavy resistance to white settlement of Western Australia in the 1830s. He was captured and imprisoned but continued to coordinate resistance activities. Calyute's wife Yornup and his youngest son Ninia were killed in the Pinjarra Massacre. Although there is no record of Calyute after 1840, it is reported that he lived to an old age.
