Warwa (WA)
|
| | Location | On eastern shores of King Sound from Fraser River to Round Hill, n.n. ['Maria] on Stokes Bay; inland to upper Logue River; on Fitzroy River only to Yeeda; at Derby; north of Meda extending inland about 40 miles (65 km.); eastern and western sections of the tribe almost cut off from each other by movement of Njikena down Fitzroy River before European settlement; contact was maintained only along coastal swamps flooded at high tide (tide rises here up to forty feet (17 m.]). Njikena using English call the western Warwa the 'Little Warwa' and those between Purula (Derby) and Meda the 'Big Warwa.' Some men do not roll the r in their tribal name, thus two forms are given above. |
