The
Country
The Gaari's traditional land, including reefs offshore, comprised the 20 sq. miles, predominantly the area of Grant Island close to the near
lapsus calami but Tindale elsewhere places them on Howard Island. [3]
People
The Gaari are registered by Norman Tindale as a separate tribe, but he notes that they may possibly have been a horde of the Mawng.[3]
