Marimanindji
The Marimanindji are an indigenous Australian tribe of the Northern territory. Little is known of them. Name The anthropologist "Bill" Stanner thought that other attested tribal names, Maritjamiri and Mangikurungu, properly belonged to the Marinmanindji. Norman Tindale noted a similarity between their name and that of the Nanggikorongo also identified in this area, but did not draw any conclusion, since adequate material to clarify the overlap was not available. Language Marimanindji was a dialect within the Marrithiyel language cluster and is now virtually extinct. Country Marimanindji ranged to the south of Hermit Hill, in the central Daly River area. Later work indicated that they lived south of both the Daly Daly or DALY may refer to: Places Australia * County of Daly, a cadastral division in South Australia * Daly River, Northern Territory, a locality * Electoral division of Daly, an electorate in the Northern Territory * Daly, Northern Territory, ... and Darwin rive ...

Nanggikorongo
The Ngan'gimerri, also spelt Nangiomeri, Nanggumiri, and other variants, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Daly River area in the Northern Territory. Language Ngan'gimerri is one of the Southern Daly River languages, and considered a dialect of the Ngan'gi language. Country Their traditional grounds lie to the east of those of the Maramanandji and Murrinh-Patha, extending some , south of the central sector of the Daly river, to the south of the Mulluk-Mulluk and Madngella. They ran along the Flora River up to its junction with the Daly. Post-contact history Securing food for Aboriginal nomads was always a dicey business, and the attraction of areas where Europeans settled, as places where, through kinship with Indigenous people employed there, one could obtain surer supplies of food, tobacco and sugar, exercised a powerful influence on tribal shifts in Australia. Around the 1900s, taken in by Bush Telegraph rumours of marvels to be seen at a new gold mine, which ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Indigenous Australian
Indigenous Australians or Australian First Nations are people with familial heritage from, and membership in, the ethnic groups that lived in Australia before British colonisation. They consist of two distinct groups: the Aboriginal peoples of the Australian mainland and Tasmania, and the Torres Strait Islander peoples from the seas between Queensland and Papua New Guinea. The term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples or the person's specific cultural group, is often preferred, though the terms First Nations of Australia, First Peoples of Australia and First Australians are also increasingly common; 812,728 people self-identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin in the 2021 Australian Census, representing 3.2% of the total population of Australia. Of these indigenous Australians, 91.4% identified as Aboriginal; 4.2% identified as Torres Strait Islander; while 4.4% identified with both groups.

Daly River, Northern Territory
Daly River is a town adjacent to the Daly River in the Northern Territory of Australia. At the 2006 census, Daly River had a population of 468.

The region lay untouched by Europeans until 1882 when copper was discovered. Daly River town was the scene of some particularly b ...

Marrithiyal People
The Marrithiyal, also written Marithiel, are an Aboriginal Australian people whose traditional territory lay south of the Daly River in the Northern Territory. They were sometimes known derogatively as Berringen (Berinken, Brinken), a term used by the Mulluk-Mulluk to refer to "aliens" or "strangers". Language Marrithiyal is classified as one of the Daly River Languages Areal group, one of the prefixing non-Pama–Nyungan languages, exhibiting a distinctive phonemic inventory rare among Australian tongues.
