Kuringgai, Guringai, Gringay, gringai, Gooringgai, Coringai
The use of a word Guringai or spelt kuring-gai has no connection to Sydney, Gosford right up to Newcastle. Guringai is not the language group, a tribe or nation of the area Sydney, Gosford, up to Newcastle The words Kuring-gai changed to Guringai are not from the Central Cost or Sydney. 7 Aboriginal land councils are in support and this is not including 4 more Aboriginal land councils North of the Hunter River NSW who are also in support that the Guringai are North of the Hunter River, This fiction and claims has been going on for too long. The Guringai also spelt kuringai, Kuring-gai, Cooringay, Guringai, Gooreeggai, Goreenggai, Gourenggai, Gingai, Gooreenggai, Gringai, Corringorri and Guringay on our language dictionary – Guthang.

The Sydney Council have made change after it was reviewed by it researchers and has now removed all references, The Mosman and Northern Sydney beaches Councils has done the same.

Cathie Burgess PhD Senior Lecturer Sydney School of Education and Social Work THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Aboriginal Studies, Aboriginal Education Thompson Fellow 2020 has now forwarded information to her networks who are mainly Aboriginal Studies teachers in schools and Unis and said it is important information for them.

NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service Greater Sydney Branch and Central Coast Area Hunter Central Coast Branch are in support and have started removing all references to Guringai on the south of the hunter River east coast to Sydney. (after it was reviewed by the Aboriginal Committee NPWS) And you have a confession by Mr Bimson!

Many Schools have now started removing referances

The Aboriginal Education Committee are in the process of correcting this fiction. AECG

The Northern beaches Councils Mayor Michael Regan also in support after the tax payer funded report was published in the paper and the report published by the Aboriginal heritage office Filling A Void.

The Federal Member for Warringah Zali Steggall MP is also in support

And most importantly all the Aboriginal lands Council’s on the NSW Coast, The NSW Aboriginal land Council headquarters, (A total of 7) and also not included at this stage another 4 the Northern Aboriginal Land Councils from the Hunter River up to Port Macquarie NSW.

These claims being made by the newly found King Bungaree descendants from Broken Bay NSW (Gadigal Country) needs to be stopped before it destroys our history and Culture of the true Guringai and future generations North of the Hunter River, Port Stephens and Gloucester regions NSW.

Findings The purpose of this chapter is to recognise the Darkiñung-Language People of the Hawkesbury-Hunter Ranges by separating their Country from that of those to their northeast at the time of settlement, who are found to be the People who really spoke the Wannerawa Language in the region from the Hunter River estuary along the coast to the Broken Bay estuary. This neighbouring language was assessed without identification by Lancelot Threlkeld who recovered it from Bungaree's Broken Bay Aborigines (who hadexpanded to their south to occupy the north shore of Port Jackson subsequent to settlement). Threlkeld's principle source was a boy from this group presenting himself when a young adult at Newcastle to become known as ‘Biraban’, representing the hero Birrugan from Aboriginal culture he learnt when at Port Macquarie. (In his missionary work before terms such as Kamilaroi were applied to languages, Threlkeld had not succumbed to ‘tribal’ name-creation which was taken up by others.)

Although Threlkeld himself did not provide an identification term, the recognition of these people for the English was provided as Wannerawa aka Wannungine, apparently to indicate ‘of the Place’ - as a response to queries to the people about who they were. [In English convention, this identification becomes the term which is used for People, used for Language and used for Country.] In the meantime, aliterary man, John Fraser, took it upon himself to create a name for these indigenes (who, he wrote) ‘are gone long ago’, naming them after a cove in Lake Macquarie known to the settlers as Awa-ba. The success of his 1892 book meant that Fraser's artifice has been used ever since for northern Wannungine near the Hunter River. The farther Wannerawa had since adopted another term proposed for near Broken Bay as ‘Guringai’ by Arthur Capell in a preliminary 1970 article. ‘Guringai’ had been used by Fraser in 1892 as ‘Kuringgai’ to designate people who used the common noun kuri for man, which he appeared to have taken from the term Gringai / Gooringai used by the settlers to identify a local group of` Kattung-Language people across the Hunter River at the Paterson / Allyn River tributary. Native Title claim snuffed out https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/4979410/heartache-after-claim-snuffed-out/ “The state government recognised the claim group as the descendants of the original inhabitants of the land, but found they were “unable to prove they had followed their traditional laws and customs continuously since the time of white settlement.

William Scott “This was the Gringai tribe, a subbranch of numerous native people that once inhabited the lower portions of the Hunter and Karuah River valleys. “I Was born at Carrington, Port Stephens, on September 19 1844, my father, John Scott, being employed in a secretarial Capacity at Carrington by The Australian Agricultural Company” It will be as well for me to state at the outset that I am not depending entirely on memory for the facts I intend to present. Before I left Port Stephens for Queensland in 1878, I went to a good deal of trouble to make a written record of many incidents and descriptions of customs and ceremonies besides preparing a considerable vocabulary of words and phrases common in the tribe. These, I fortunately kept by me through the years, and with their aid I have been able to refresh my recollection on some points. The list of aboriginal words used by the tribe is probably the only one in the world, for none other, to my knowledge, ever troubled to commit a glossary to paper. At the date of my birth Carrington was a considerable establishment, although declining in importance, as the Company by that time was transferring the main center of its activities elsewhere. But the blacks remained, and many of my earliest recollections are of them. The lads of the tribe were my playfellows. I learned to speak their language with a certain degree 'Of fluency as did my sister to a greater extent-and we mastered those difficult labials and gutturals that few white men have been able to catch correctly as is evidenced by the discordant corruption of many beautifully euphonious native names. Note -The Australian Agriculture Company (AA Comp), formed in England in 1824 with $1M capital, took up a grant of 1,000,000 acres of land extending from Port Stephens to the Manning River. Robert Dawson established Headquarters at Carrington, Port Stephens in early 1826 explored the Karuah River and naming places he had passed along the way. NATIVE TRIBES OF SOUTH-EAST AUSTRALIA BY A. W. HOWITT, D.SC. printed 1904 “In 1873 I joined Dr. Lorimer Fison in investigating the classificatory system of relationships which obtains among these savages. In connection with this inquiry, our attention was directed to the tribal class system, and the rules of marriage and descent connected therewith. In these investigations we were assisted by correspondents living in places scattered over the greater part of Eastern Australia, and in a less degree in the western half Without their aid it would not have been possible to have brought together the collection of facts which was necessary to enable us to draw sound conclusions as to the real character of the organization and beliefs of the native tribes. In the course of our work we found the conclusions to which we were led regarding the system of relationships, the character and origin of the tribal and social organization, and the rules of marriage and descent, brought us into conflict with hypotheses as to primitive society and its organization and development advanced by certain leaders of anthropological thought.” Page V11 Mr A. Hook -Gringai, W. Scott- Gringai, Dr. E. M. M'Kinlay Wiimbaio,- Gringai. And J. W. Boydell Are referenced in this book and are all locals from the Gringai country. See pages 266, 315, 325, 343, 383, 401, 431, 439, 570, 577, 689, 721, 767, and many more pages on the Guringai. “To the north-east and adjoining the Geawe-gal were two tribes, or perhaps two sections of a large tribe, one on the Paterson River and the other, to which my correspondent refers, being on the Williams and its tributary, the Chichester. After careful inquiries I have not succeeded in learning the name of this tribe with certainty. So far, however, as I am able to form an opinion, the name Gringai may be used, since it is given for those blacks who lived in that part of the country lying about Dungog." They were distributed over the country in local groups called by them " Nurra." Their territory extended up the valley of the Williams and its tributaries to their sources, and southwards for about 8 miles below Dungog. There were Nurras all over this district, at convenient distances apart, each of which consisted of six to nine huts, or families. In 1840 the blacks in this tract of country numbered about 250 all told. They intermarried with the people of the Paterson River on the one side, and those of the Gloucester on the other.” Ref page 85. At Port Stephens the body was neatly folded in bark and was placed in the grave at flood-tide ; never at ebb, - and goes on to say “It seems probable that the Gringai natives belonged to the same tribe, at any rate the former held the same belief that if the dead were not buried at flood-tide, the ebb might carry away the spirit of the deceased. They also thought that the spirit lingered at the grave for a time. "Ref 465 No 2- W. Scott. The Ceremonies of the Gringai Tribe.

An interesting entry of 1833 is an aboriginal vocabulary collected from King Jacky, and there is an account of the same King’s funeral. He also had contact with Guringai people. A.W. Howitt and Lorimer Fison At the end of the 19th Century A.W. Howitt and Lorimer Fison collaborated on pioneering anthropological research in Australia and the Pacific. Their book Kamilaroi and Kurnai (1880) revealed the complexity and diversity of Aboriginal society and pioneered important advancements in anthropological method and theory. The papers presented here include their correspondence with informants, some of their wordlists and their various notes on the cultural practices of Australian Aboriginal people of Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. Transcribing this material is of great significance for many Aboriginal communities across southern, central and eastern Australia, as well as for anthropologists, historians and linguists. hw0146 Howitt notes of the Gringai Port Stephens Gringai tribe The Gringai tribe Doc 4 J W Boydell Gresford Tribe boundaries A This tribe occupied country bounded by Eccleston in the north, Paterson in the south, Dungog in the East and Singleton in the west. Most of the Gringai were named Kumbo but there were some Ipai among them. Thereis one family of the Kubbi class who take B their name Kubbi from the father and not from their mother. (on Saturday I had avisit from two of the Port Stephens blacks a man and his gin. They are part of the Gringai tribe to which Mr Boydell's blacks belong and yet the man is Ipai and his wife Kulbitha and she knows of the Matha class and that implies the existence of the Muri class - Mr Fraser 5/6/82) One man told me that a Kubbi must marry a Kubbitha and that their children are of the Kumbo class and there is a family here bearing the name of Kumbo whose father is a Kubbi and mother a Kubbitha.Totems C There are totem families in this tribe. 4 totem families - Black snake, Black crow, Eaglehawk Stingaree J.F.

Marriage 2 The woman about to be married makes a fire and a camp when the man is led to the spot D by his Father or any old man of the tribe. After camping together, the ceremony is complete and considered final. The woman is chosen if possible, from a neighbouring tribe No relations are allowed to marry, not even cousins. There are many instances of marriage by elopement and capture. [written in left side margin] I think that the boundaries will be found much more extensive than this J.F. The following Newspaper article is written by JOHN FRASER. This story was long before his print in 1892 totally contradicts his later work 1892 -93 and is proof of where he got the idea from that the Guringai / kuring-gai were one super tribe and “&c, of Mr Oliver’s letter” , John Fraser said in 1892 “ “I assured myself” that the country thereabout was occupied by subtribes of the Kurring-gai.” Fraser has spelt it “Goringai, kuring-gai and Kurig-gi on his map 1892.” 1890 JOHN FRASER wrote Sydney Morning Herald (NSW 1842 - 1954), Thursday 12 June 1890, page 4 ________________________________________ TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Sir, When the municipalities of the North Shore combine and adopt the native name of their district, as Mr Oliver very fitly suggests, it is to be hoped that the spelling of the name will receive attention. For, although Cammeray is not a monstrosity like Woolloomooloo or Woollahra, yet the spelling of it might be improved. The C should give place to K, for C in English is a redundant letter, representing the sound either of K or of S, and should not be used here in our native words. The termination "eray" might, I think be written "arai," for "ara" and "arai" are established forms in the aboriginal languages. The whole name would thus be Kamarai, which, certainly, is prettier and easier to pronounce than St Leonards. But as our blacks make the "a" and the"o" sounds to be nearly alike, the name might also be written Komaroi; to this we have a parallel in the name Kamilaroi. Mr Oliver is right as to the location of the Kamilaroi tribe. Many years ago, I had the privilege of long and interesting conversations about that tribe with a gentleman who had been one of the pioneer settlers in their district 50 years ago. He could speak their language "like a native," was called by them Charley Murruba," Charles the Good," was never molested even in those days by any men of the tribe, and his property was always safe in their hands. He had often travailed the main road from Maitland to the Lower Namoi, and know the country well. The limits of the Kamilaroi dialect, he said, were then the River Gwydir on the north, on the west an irregular line drawn from Walgett, southwards through Coonabarabran and round to Scone on the Hunter, and thence east and north along the Dividing Range to the sources of the Gwydir. Beyond the Gwydir was the Ualaroi dialect, a kin to the Kamilaroi, but yet considerably different from it; to the west the Wirrajery, or Wirradhuri, quite different and to the south and east the Goringai, also different from the Kamilaroi. I know that the Goringai tribe occupied the whole of the east coast from the Hastings and the Manning down to the Hunter, and had several subdivisions named from particular localities in their territory. These subdivisions correspond with the Cammeray, Cadi, Gwea, &c, of Mr Oliver's letter, which were only local portions of one great tribe stretching along the coast from the Hunter, probably as far south as the Illawarra district. The language of this tribe was distinct from the Kamilaroi, although, like all the Australian dialects, they had many words in common and the same root-word used in different forms or with different applications. For instance, one would say murra (hand), another would apply the word to the whole of the lower arm, including the hand; so also, mir or mil, the eye; mir, the face. The Kamilaroi says kara-ji for wizard, doctor, medicine man, but the Goringai says kara-kal. Of course, variations like these are common in all languages. The kal, of karakal, leads me on to say that cadigal is neither the name of a language nor of a tribe; the gal or kal in this and similar names is merely a suffix equivalent to "belonging to" or " they of," just as we say a Sydneyite, a Londoner, an Aberdonian. An Englishman, in the local aboriginal dialect, would be called England-kal, and an Englishwoman England kalin. Those who imagine that our aboriginal languages are only rude gibberish, are vastly mistaken. These languages or dialects are one of the unsolved problems of ethnology, but enough is known of them to prove that they have well-defined principles of formation and of grammar which cannot have been the invention of mere savages. I am, &c, JOHN FRASER. Then John Fraser 1882-1892 focus was Aboriginal languages. He made contradictory statements in his 1882 article about his sources of information. "The tribes with which I am acquainted are chiefly those of the northern half of our territory, the Gringai, the Kamilaroi, and the Ooalaroi, and to these I add a slight knowledge of the Wiradjery and Yuin tribes" (Fraser 1882:199-200). "I owe special acknowledgments to Mr. C Naseby, Maitland (for the Kamilaroi tribe) and Mr. J. W. Boydell, Camyrallyn, Gresford for the Gringai tribe. Both of these men have had an intimate acquaintance with these tribes for more than thirty years." (Fraser 1882:199 - footnote). Most of Fraser's notes on the Kamilaroi and Gringai was second hand information from his European informants in Maitland. Also, in his introduction to the “edited version of Threlkeld's work on the Awakabal Language”, Frazer (1892) provided a "Map of New South Wales as occupied by the Native Tribes" (see Map 3-4). In this map, the Hunter Valley north of Warkworth is included in Kamilaroi, while the more southerly areas around Broke and Maitland are included in Kuring-gai, which is shown as extending along the coast from Bulli in the south just north of Woollongong to almost Port Kempsey. "This map is the issue of ten years' thought and inquiry on the location of our native tribes; nothing of the kind has been attempted before. The basis of the whole is the boundaries of the Kamalarai tribe, which were marked out for me by a friend who knew the tribe well fifty years ago; his information I have tested and extended by answers I got from others who also knew the tribe about that time. The Walarai dialect differs only a little from the Kamalarai proper; so also, the Wailwun, spoken by the Ngaiamba blacks; for this reason, and because they have the classification of the Kamalarai, these are regarded as only subdivisions of the great Kamalarai tribe. The Walarai dialect extends into Queensland. The next great tribe is the Kuringgai on the sea coast. Their 'taurai' (hunting ground or territory)-is known to extend north to the Macleay River, and I found that southwards it reached the Hawkesbury. Then, by examining the remains of the language of the natives about Sydney and southwards, and by other tests, I assured myself that the country thereabout was occupied by sub-tribes of the Kuringgai." Fraser 1892:. John Fraser was attempting to map different language groups. He based the entire map upon his understanding of the Kamilaroi language / tribe, and that Awakabal, lower Hunter Valley, north coast, and Sydney and south coast languages were all part of the same language group and therefore "tribe". Fraser's mapping of the Kamilaroi over this area is said to be based upon information from friends who would have been a Mr. C. Naseby of Maitland and Mr. J. W. Boydell, Camyrallyn, Gresford mentioned in his 1882 paper) that was "tested and extended by answers I got from others who also knew the tribe about that time", and his own conclusions about the grouping of Aboriginal dialects and languages. "I owe special acknowledgments to Mr. C Naseby, Maitland (for the Kamilaroi tribe) and Mr. J. W. Boydell, Camyrallyn, Gresford for the Gringai tribe. Both of these men have had an intimate acquaintance with these tribes for more than thirty years." (Fraser 1882:199 - footnote). Curr (1886-7 showed six different tribes for the same coastal and sub-coastal area as Fraser's (1892) Kurig-gai mapping. Tindale (1974) mapped 11 tribes that intersect this area. Even the generalised map by Matthews (1898) has three groups. Fraser's (1892) Kurig-gai mapping He has also spelt Kurig-gai on this map, Kuringgai and in 1890 spelt it Goringai in his “letter to the editor”. The G and the k are interchangeable in the Kutthung language as most of Frasers work was provided to him from 2nd sources people who were hearing different sounds in the word Guringai.

The map shown below as Map 3-5 information from Mathews (1898).” Accompanying an article on male initiatory rites, Mathews 1898 had a map (see Map 2) “defining the areas representing the country occupied by each tribe which he numbered 1 to 9.” He also in 1898 in addition noted “the people speaking the different dialects prevalent in each district”.
