The Dangu are an indigenous Australian people of Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory. They are, according to Norman Tindale, to be carefully distinguished from the Djaŋu.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|pp=222–223}}{{efn|'The similarities in terminology alone would have been sufficient to confuse anyone not alerted to the difference between, for example, the interdental d of Dangu and Djangu.'{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=141}} }}

Country

The extent of Dangu territory could not be established by Tindale, who located them in the general area of Yirrkala Mission, Cape Arnhem, Melville Bay, and Port Bradshaw.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|pp=222–223}}

Social organization

Like all Yolgnu societies, the Dangu, identified as a grouping of clans (mala) sharing similar dialects, were organized according to the Dhuwa and Yirritja moieties. Their ethnonymic identity as a unified group was based on their common word for the demonstrative pronoun "this." They are divided into six clans according to which moiety they belong to, 4 Dua, and 6 Yirritja.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|pp=222–223}}

The Dua moiety:

  • 1. Galpu (Gälpu, Galbu, Kalpu).
  • 2. Golumala.
  • 3. Ngajimil. (Ngayimil, Ngeimil, Makkanaimulmi).
  • 4. Riratjingu. (Rirratjingu, Rirraljinga, Riraidjango, Wurrulul, Woralul, Urorlurl).{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=223}}

The Jiritja moiety:

  • 5. Lamami. (Lamumiri).
  • 6. Wanguri. (Wangurri, Wonguri, Wan:guri).{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=223}}

Alternative names

  • Yirgala. (A toponym).{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=223}}
