TRIBAL GROUPS ~ SPECIFIC

The Kabi Nation

The Kabi Nation (whose Language was the Gureang); consisted of Three Tribes: The Kabi Tribe (who spoke the Kabi Dialect), The Gooreng Tribe (who spoke the Gooreng Dialect), and the Wakka Tribe (who spoke the Wakka Dialect) - the Tribes bore the same name as that of their Dialect.

The Gooreng Tribe

The Gooreng Tribe was further Divided into Eight Clan Groups Groups, each having its own Kinship Totem: Burang (Thunder); Bolgwin (Flying-Fox); Tarabilang (Sea Turtle); Gooeng (Possum); Bunda (Jewfish); Durawine (Lightning); Meeroonee (Dingo)and Toolooa (Water Snake).

The Clan Kinship Groups were further divided into Two Marriage Class Divisions: Kapping (Dark Skin, or Black Cockatoo) and Dilbi (Light Skin, or White Cockatoo).

Each Marriage Class was further divided into Two Sub-Classes to prevent cohabitation between Members of the same Marriage Class: Kapping (Burang and Bolgwin) and Dilbi (Bunda and Durawine).
