Maungi

The Maung, who call themselves Warruwi, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Goulburn Islands in the Arafura Sea off the Northern Territory coast. Norman Tindale reckoned their lands to cover the islands and the adjoining mainland, and their language belongs, with Manangkardi, to the Iwaidjic branch of the Iwaidjan family.

They ordered the year by close observation of nature: the peewee's arrival marked the time to dig mawain water-lily roots, brown scum on the sea the season for shark fishing, and the flowering of stringy bark the mating and hunting of turtles. They replanted lily and gurabel roots in billabongs and set banyan and cabbage trees to grow for shade.
