[4] According to Norman Tindale, Erawirung traditional lands covered about 1,300 square miles (3,400 km2), around the eastern bank of the Murray River, reaching from north of Paringa past Loxton into the sandy stretches some 24 kilometres (15 mi) to its south.
[5] The Erawirung were divided into hordes, of which the following are known: They practised circumcision alone, but not dental evulsion in initiation rites.
[7] Chert mining in two of their localities, at Springcart Gully and at a site south of Renmark, formed an important element of the Erawirung economy, and the areas were strongly defended from neighbouring tribes.
[5] Early ethnographers often classified the small Erawirung tribe as one of a collective group named the Meru people.
[5] The Erawirung were not mentioned by the nearby Jarildekald when interviewed by Ronald Murray Berndt in the late 1930s – early 1940s.
