The Marri Ngarr, also spelt Maringar, Murrinnga, Muringa or Maringa are an Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory.
Country
[edit]In Norman Tindale's estimate the Maringar had about 500 square miles (1,300 km2) midway along the Moyle River and its contiguous swamplands and various tributaries.[1]
Language
[edit]The language of Maringar Country is Yan-nhaŋu.[2]
Social organisation
[edit]The Maringar are composed of six clans - the Bindararr, Ngurruwulu, Walamangu, Gamalangga, Malarra and Gurryindi (Gorryindi) peoples.[1]
Their society was described in a monograph by the Norwegian ethnographer Johannes Falkenberg,[3] based on fieldwork done in 1950, a work judged by Rodney Needham to be 'a masterly monograph which must immediately be ranked with the classics of Australian anthropology'.[4]
