Ngamberri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ngabri or Ngamberri is a term used by a group of Aboriginal Australians.

Some Indigenous people of the area where is now located Canberra, the capital of Australia, claim to be part of the Ngamberri nation located inside the Ngunawal country border. These people are associated with the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.

However, the claim of the nation status is disputed by other Aboriginal Australians, who state that the Ngamberri are a just a small family clan of the Wiradjuri nation.[1]

The Ngunawal people had no part in the founding of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in 1972.

In October 2002, some Aboriginal people pretending to be Ngunawal members wanted to evict the residents of the tent embassy who had "lost their way".[2]
