Aboriginal Australian people of the Kimberley region, Western Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jabirr Jabirr are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Jabirr Jabirr, is also written as Jabirrjabirr and with other spellings such as DjaberrDjaberr, Djaberadjabera, Dyaberdyaber and Jabba Jabba. Their language is the Jabirr Jabirr language.
The Djaberadjabera held, according to Norman Tindale's estimation, some 800 square miles (2,100 km2) of tribal land on the western side of the Dampier Peninsula. From the coastal area of Sandy Point at Beagle Bay, their territory went south as far as Cape Bertholet. Their inland extension was about 30 miles.[1]
Running clockwise, their neighbours were, to the north, the Nyulnyul, the Warrwa on their eastern flank, the Nimanburu southeast, and the Ngombal to their south.[2][3]
By 1953 only 5 members of the tribe were still known to survive, and in 1974 Tindale stated that they were virtually extinct.[1]
