Ngadjunmaia (WA)
|
| | Location | Goddard Creek south to Mount Ragged, Israelite Bay, and Point Malcolm, possession of the latter place being a matter of dispute with the Njunga people since before contact times; west to Fraser Range; east to near Narethal and to near Point Culver on the coast; at Mount Andrew and Balladonia. They practice circumcision and subincision. Several members of this tribe possessed six fingers and toes. One such family shifted to the Bremer Bay area in historical time; a girl of the family was photographed by Helms at Fraser Range during the Elder Expedition. The Ngadjunmaia are known to the southwestern uncir-cumcised tribes as Wanggara, a term that has a derogatory significance based on the fancied resemblance of their mutilated organs to the beaks of ducks. |
