The Nyangumarta people, also written Njaŋumada, Njangamada, Njanjamarta and other variations, are a nation of Aboriginal Australians from the northwestern coast of Western Australia.
[1] Nyangumarta belongs to the Marrngu branch of the Pama–Nyungan languages, together with Mangarla and Karajarri.
Geoffrey O'Grady affirmed that the original extent of their lands at the beginning of white colonial penetration in their domain was 7,000 square miles (18,000 km2), but that their linguistic expansion and influence had increased substantially since then.
[3] Most Nyangumarta people now live in Broome, Bidyadanga and Port Hedland, though they still regularly visit their country.
Their traditional ownership of this country was recognised in 2009 by the Federal Court of Australia.
