According to
Norman Tindale's estimation, the Ngameni held 6,000 square miles (16,000 km2) of tribal territory, along the southern edge of
Goyder Lagoon, and on the
Warburton River, and Lakes Howitt and Berlino. The northern reach extended to
Pandipandi and, over the border into what is now southwest Queensland, the area south of
Birdsville and Miranda.[1]
Social organization and customs
Both circumcision and
subincision were integral parts of Ngameni rites of
initiation.[1]
