Along with the Yawijibaya people, they are the traditional owners of Buccaneer Archipelago, off Derby, together known as the Mayala group for native title purposes. Language The Unggarranggu spoke a Worrorran language. What little is known of it was taken down by Howard Coate in the 1960s. Country The Unggarranggu by Norman Tindale's estimate had a domain extending over roughly , ranging from the northeastern area of King Sound, the eastern side of Stokes Bay, and reaching north as far as Crawford Bay. They also were present on Helpman Island and those islands of the eastern part of the sound as far as Caffarelli. Their continental extension ran no more than inland.

Mayala
The Yawijibaya, also written Jaudjibaia, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia. Along with the Unggarranggu people, they are the traditional owners of Buccaneer Archipelago, off Derby, together known as the Mayala group for native title purposes. Yawijibaya country includes Montgomery Island (Yawajaba) and the surrounding Montgomery Reef. History The missionary and expert on the Worrorra, J. R. B. Love maintained that the Yawijibaya were being completely assimilated into the Worrorra people by the 1930s, as a clan of the latter's ''Atpalar'' moiety. Valda Blundell recorded that in the early 1970s there was still one very old Yawijibaya man from the Montgomery group resident at the Lombidina mission. Country Yawijibaya country, altogether a little less than , was confined to the Montgomery Islands, the surrounding Montgomery Reef, and the islands in the southern area of Collier Bay.

Traditional Lands Of Australian Aboriginal Tribes Around Derby
A tradition is a belief or behavior (folk custom) passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. A component of cultural expressions and folklore, common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings. Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years—the word ''tradition'' itself derives from the Latin ''tradere'' literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping. While it is commonly assumed that traditions have an ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time. Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways. The phrase "according to tradition", or "by tradition", usually means that whatever information follows is known only by oral t ...

Warrwa
The Warrwa, also spelt Warwa, are an Indigenous Australian people of the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Country According to Norman Tindale's estimate, the Warrwa's domains encompassed approximately , extending along the eastern shores of King Sound from Fraser River to Round Hill on Stokes Bay. Their inland extension reached as far as the upper Logue River. Their presence on the Fitzroy River was thought to run only as far as Yeeda. They were also present in the area of Derby, and north of Meda, inland to roughly . To their north lay the Umiida, on their eastern flank were the Unggumi, while the Nyigina were on their southern frontier.

Meda River
The Meda River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The river is formed when the Lennard River splits into two channels just north of Mount Marmion, the other channel being the May River. Continuing to flow westward the river eventually discharges into Stokes Bay, King Sound which is north-east of Derby. The river was named in 1881 by a pioneer of the area, George Julius Brockman during an expedition in the Kimberley area. The river is named after ''HMS Meda'', an Admiralty surveying vessel that charted the coastline in the area including the river mouth in 1880. The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Ongkarango people. The Meda has three tributaries, the Lennard River Lennard River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Mangrove
A mangrove is a shrub or tree that grows in coastal saline water, saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves are taxonomically diverse, as a result of convergent evolution in several plant families. They occur worldwide in the tropics and subtropics and even some temperate coastal areas, mainly between latitudes 30° N and 30° S, with the greatest mangrove area within 5° of the equator. Mangrove plant families first appeared during the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene epochs, and became widely distributed in part due to the plate tectonics, movement of tectonic plates. The oldest known fossils of Nypa fruticans, mangrove palm date to 75 million years ago. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees, also called halophytes, and are adapted to live in harsh coastal conditions. They contain a complex salt filtration system and a complex root system to cope with saltwater immersion and wave action. They are ad ...

Umiida
The Umiida, also written Umida and Umede, were an indigenous Australian people of the Kimberley region of north Western Australia. Language The Umiida spoke one of the dialects of the (western) Worrorra language. What little is known of it, and Ungarrangu, was taken down by Howard Coate in the 1960s. Country Norman Tindale's estimate of their tribal domains assigns them , along the Yampi Sound coastline and its inlets, as far south as Cone Bay. In a northerly direction, they possessed the islands from Koolan to Macleay. Their westward extension went as far as Bathurst Island, Bayliss Island, and those in Strickland Bay. Their inland domains went only as far as the watershed. Social organization and life The Umiida were a nomadic rafter people who harvested the maritime resources off the many islands in their area, together with the Djaui and Unggarranggu, tribes with whom they had amicable relations.

Worrorran Languages
The Worrorran (Wororan) languages are a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Western Australia. The Worrorran languages fall into three dialect clusters: *the Northern Worrorran group, known as Wunambal and related dialects *the Eastern Worrorran group, known as Ngarinyin, Ungarinyin, and related dialects *the Western Worrorran group, known as Worrorra, and related dialects In addition, Gulunggulu is unattested but presumably a Worrorran lect. Validity left, Worrorran languages (purple), among other non-Pama-Nyungan languages (grey) There has been debate over whether the Worrorran languages are demonstrably related to one another, or constitute a geographical language group. Dixon (2002) considers them to be language isolates with no demonstrable relationship other than that of a ''Sprachbund''. However, more recent literature differs from Dixon: * Rumsey and McGregor (2009) demonstrate the cohesiveness of the family and its reconstructibil ...
