The Kwatkwat were an indigenous Australian tribe of the State of Victoria, though some scholars consider them part of the broader Yorta Yorta/Pangerang macrogroup.[a]

Country

[edit]

According to Norman Tindale, the Kwatkwat's tribal territories cover roughly 1,800 square miles (4,700 km2), running along the southern bank of the Murray River, in a stretch of land that ran from just above the Goulburn River junction southwards around Indigo Creek at Barnawartha. The strip included the junction of the King and Ovens rivers.[2]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ 'We do not think that much reliance can be placed on Tindale's classification in this area.'[1]
  • ^ This identification has been challenged on the grounds that the available evidence suggests the reported 'Emu Mudjug' tribe spoke a different language from the variety of Yorta Yorta believed to be spoken by the Kwakkwat, and they appear to have spoken a version of Wiradjuri.[3]
