The Maringar or Murrinnga, Muringa or Maringa are an Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory.

Country

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

The language of Maringar Country is Yan-nhaŋu.[2]

Social organisation

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]
