In his "Map of New South Wales as occupied by the native tribes" and text accompanying it, he deploys the term ''Kuringgai'' to refer to the people inhabiting a large stretch of the central coastline of New South Wales. He regarded the language desc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gumbaynggirr
The Gumbaynggirr people, also rendered Kumbainggar, Gumbangeri and other variant spellings, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Gumbathagang was a probable clan or sub-group. The traditional lands of the Gumbaynggirr nation stretch from Tabbimoble Yamba-Clarence River to Ngambaa-Stuarts Point, SWR- Macleay to Guyra and to Oban. History Clement Hodgkinson was the first European to make contact with the local Aboriginal community when he explored the upper reaches of the Nambucca and Bellinger Rivers in March 1841. Three decades later, loggers began to work their way up through the Orara River cedar stands in the 1870s. Over c.1873-1874, J.W. Lindt produced photographs of local indigenous people both in their environment and conducting actual traditional ceremonies in the Clarence River district, and made portraits in his studio. Contemporary commentary records them as "the first successful attempt at representing the native blacks t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kwiambal
The Kwiambal are an Aboriginal Australian people of New South Wales. Name The ethnonym is formed from their word for 'no', transcribed by early ethnographers as ''quie/koi'', and the suffix ''bal'', which denotes a tribal grouping. Country Norman Tindale assigned to the Kwiambal a territorial domain of roughly around the lower Severn River and in the area of Ashford and Fraser's Creek. To their south were the Jukambal Tribal status In his account of a journey south of Brisbane in 1855, the Presbyterian missionary William Ridley wrote I came down the Gwydir to the Bundarra, and over that river to Warialda. The aborigines I found at Warialda, twelve in number, speak Kamilaroi as well as Uolaroi; but they were the last I met who spoke to me in the former language. A day's journey northward from Warialda, I found blacks speaking Yukumba; and on the Macintyre, 70 miles from Warialda, Pikumbul is the prevailing language. Tindale intuited that the geographic context a d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anēwan
The Anēwan, also written Anaiwan and Anaywan, are an Aboriginal Australian people whose traditional territory spans the Northern Tablelands in New South Wales. The Anēwan people are a subgroup of the Djangadi tribe. Language The Anēwan language, also known as ''Nganyaywana'' has been classified by Robert M. W. Dixon as belonging to the ''Djan-gadi/Nganjaywana subgroup'' of Central New South Wales, and was one of three varieties of the group, the other dialects being Himberrong and Inuwon. For a long time Anēwan was regarded, like Mbabaram, as a linguistic isolate, ostensibly failing to fit into the known Australian patterns of language, since the material in word-lists taken down of its vocabulary appeared to lack cognates in contiguous languages such as Gamilaraay. The status of its seeming irregularity was solved in 1976 by Terry Crowley who showed that the differences were caused by initial consonant loss which, once accounted for, yielded up over 100 cognate terms be ...

Map Of New South Wales As Occupied By The Native Tribes
A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or fictional, without regard to context or scale, such as in brain mapping, DNA mapping, or computer network topology mapping. The space being mapped may be two dimensional, such as the surface of the earth, three dimensional, such as the interior of the earth, or even more abstract spaces of any dimension, such as arise in modeling phenomena having many independent variables. Although the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times. The word "map" comes from the , wherein ''mappa'' meant 'napkin' or 'cloth' and ''mundi'' 'the world'. Thus, "map" became a shortened term referring t ...
