Umiida

The Umiida, also written Umida and Umede, were an Aboriginal Australian people of the Kimberley region of north Western Australia.

The Umiida spoke one of the dialects of the (western) Worrorra language.

[2] Norman Tindale's estimate of their tribal domains assigns them 1,800 square miles (4,700 km2), along the Yampi Sound coastline and its inlets, as far south as Cone Bay.

[3] The Umiida were a nomadic rafter people who harvested the maritime resources off the many islands in their area, together with the Djaui and Unggarranggu, tribes with whom they had amicable relations.

[3] Like other Worrorra neighbouring peoples the Umiida belonged to Wandjina/Wunggurr cultural complex where the Dreaming imagined both wandjina, fresh-water creator beings who were custodians of key sites, and a common Worrorran rainbow serpent Wunggurr.
