- Wangai abstract "Wongatha is the name of a language group of the Aboriginal people of the North-Eastern Goldfields; it derives from a word meaning "speaker". The Wongatha people made use of the natural resources within their tribal boundary which borders the biogeographic regions of Coolgardie, South-East Wiluna and the Western half of the Great Victoria Desert. Wongatha people played an important role in the discovery of gold and supporting early prospectors with information about locally available gnamma holes. They also assisted with early so-called Afghan camel-drivers, instrumental in providing outback gold mining communities with provisions.Many former sheep stations have passed into Wongatha ownership, and traditional art has grown to become a major income to Wongatha communities.It is estimated that there are about 200-300 first-language Wongatha speaking people.Today their Native Title land rights interests are represented by the Goldfields Aboriginal Land and Sea Council Corporation. Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL), 1997 give the Wangai language the statistical code 8503.Wangai people played an important role in the discovery of Gold, and in supporting early prospectors with information about locally available gnamma holes (water sources).
