Comment
Comments: 
According to Tindale (1974), Ngawangati (Y28) is one of the Winduwinda groups, while Dixon (2002) treats it as a dialect name. In Tindale, Winduwinda is a cover term for twelve or more small groups each with a name terminating in '-ngit'. Sutton (2001:460) says that the origin of the term Winduwinda appears fundamentally geographical; centering on the Winda Winda Creek area and covering groups with lands between the Archer and Mission Rivers.
