Location: East of Duyfken Point to Archer River; inland to head of Embley River; twelve or more hordes or incipient small tribes each with a name terminating in [-ngit]; Winduwinda is a valid embracing name and apparently the equivalent of one of the lower gulf tribal terms. Following is a list of the twelve principal -ngit. Synonyms and variant spellings are given within parentheses after the accepted form of each name. No attempt has been made to estimate the approximate area occupied by each such group. Roman numerals on the map indicate the general position of each within the whole Winduwinda area. The following arrangement is based on the views of an [A'retinget] man of the Hay River. Area: I. Tanikuit (Tainikudi, Tani-kutti, Dainiguid, Tannagootee). North side of Albatross Bay. II. Ndruangit.
