Traditional Owners
We recognise and acknowledge Ngarinyin Aboriginal people as the traditional owners of Wunaamin Conservation Park.
Both the Wilinggin word ‘Wunaamin’ and Bunuba word ‘Miliwundi’ name the mountain ranges. Note the difference in spelling between Miluwindi Conservation Park and Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges. Bunuba people have different variations and pronunciations of the word for nearby areas – Miluwindi is the area the conservation park is located, while Miliwundi is the name of the mountain range that is located within Bunuba country.
Wilinggin Country
“The traditional connection to this country is through the law of the Wanjina Wunggurr.
Ngarinyin people believe that the Wanjina are their ancestors, who came and ‘put themselves’ in the rock when the world was soft. Wunggurr is the Rainbow Serpent, who usually lives in deep water pools and is close to the Wanjina.
Wunggurr, the Rock Python/Rainbow Serpent, is most concentrated in the permanent waterholes of the area but underlies the entire country and the sea in a more diffuse way.”
