Larrakian

The Larrakia, who originally called themselves the Gulumirrgin, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Northern Territory whose traditional lands centred on the harbour where Darwin stands. Calling themselves the Saltwater People, they built their society around the sea and traded with the Tiwi, Wadjiginy and Djerimanga, sharing ceremonies and songlines and intermarrying with them.

Their language belonged to the Darwin Region group. In their cosmology the sky being Mangarrara made all earthly things, while Nanganburra, who dwelt underground, fashioned the first man, Dowed, and judged the dead, sending the worthy to dwell among the stars.
