Nanggikorongo

The Nanggikorongo are an indigenous Australian people of the Northern territory.

Name

There is some dispute as to whether Nanggikorongo refers to this tribe or is a “big name” toponym for a place on the Murinbata coastline.[1]

Country

The Nanggikorongo's traditional lands extended over some 1,200 sq. miles, east of Wadeye/Port Keats and inland to the Moyle River.[1]

People

W. E. H.Stanner suggested Nangiomeri as an alternative name, while Norman Tindale called for further research to clarify what relation the Nanggikorongo had with the more easterly Nanggumiri.[1]
