Irukandji People
The Yirrganydji people (aka Irukandji) are a group of Australian Aborigines who are the Traditional Owners and original custodians of a narrow coastal strip within Djabugay country that runs northwards from Cairns, Queensland to Port Douglas (Mowbray River), Queensland.
The Yirrganydji people were, until relatively recently, regarded as seafarers who shared in common, descent from predecessors who once all spoke Yirrgay (which to early linguists noted as a dialect of the Djabugay language), and were particularly associated with the coastal strip, river mouths, islands, and seas along the coast between the Cairns Trinity Inlet and Port Douglas.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The conclusion has never changed: the worst sort of people come here for the worst sort of reasons and put upon those of us who have conveniently forgotten where we came from and how we got here.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
