Norweilemil
The Norweilemil were an
indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory
.
Country
They were a small tribe with, in Tindale's estimation, some 400 square miles (1,000 km2) of territory on the southeastern flank of the Van Diemen Gulf, and west of the West Alligator River. They were also attested around Stuart Point. [1]
Practices
Baldwin Spencer classifies them with many other contiguous tribes in that area:-
To the same group of tribes belong, apparently, the
subincision.[2]
He also adds that, like the others, they do not appear to have used bullroarers.[3]
