Amangu (WA)
|
| | Location | At Champion Bay; from Chapman River and the southern vicinity of Geraldton south to Hill River; inland to near Mullewa, Morawa, and Carnamah. Southeastern boundary not well defined, somewhere north of Moora. Note that Foley (1865) gives the term 'am-manjo' as meaning man; my sole informant thought ['amangu] was proper. Attempts were made in postcontact times to introduce circumcision but with little success. |
