The Wagonga Local Aboriginal Land Council shared with AMSA the following:
“The language spoken is Dhurga. Both Walbunja Yuin and Djirridjan Yuin claim connection to Barranguba. Please note that all Yuin people have a connection to Barranguba, Nadjanuka and Gulaga as they forever protect their people.
Today our people are restricted from accessing our special places which is due to white man’s laws and regulations.”
AMSA is currently working to erect a symbol on the island to acknowledge the Yuin people’s Elders, past, present and future generation.
