Jeidji (WA)
|
| | Location | Forrest River from seacoast of Cambridge Gulf to Milligan ranges; south to Steere Hills; north to Mount Carty and Lyne River. The term Gwini usually given for these people is a directional one basically meaning 'east' or 'easterners' and is applied by the inland peoples including those at Kalumburu. Another version suggests that ['Kujini] means 'lowlanders' or 'bottom people' because they live near the sea. The term Miwa meaning 'saltwater,' hence Miwadange, saltwater people, applies to them but is not here a tribal name as it is farther to the west. The Guragona horde treated in this work as Wenambal may belong here. |
