The Wirngir are an indigenous Australian people of the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Country

Norman Tindale estimated their territorial extension to range around {{convert|800|mi2|km2}}. They were a coastal people, whose inland borders stopped in the highlands. They were present around Cape Bernier, as far southeast lower Lyne River and Vancouver Point.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=261}}

Their neighbours were the Miriwung on their east and southeastern flank, the Arnga, south and southwest, and the Yeidji directly west of their northern boundary.{{sfn|TTB|2016}}{{sfn|AIATSIS}}

History of contact

The Wirngir, like other peoples in the area, were deeply affected by the Forrest River massacre, which accounted for the disarray of their social organizations, according to the anthropologist Phyllis Kaberry when she visited with the Lyne River peoples to study them in the mid-1930s.{{sfn|Kabbery|1935|p=408}}

Alternative names

  • Walar. (a putative name for their language).
  • Wular, Wola.
  • Wadaja.
  • Winggir. (a name for Cape Dussejour).{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=261}}
