About Barrkira
History

Barrkira, on the ancestral land of the Golumala people, is closely connected to the peoples living at Raymaŋgirr, Burrum, Gutjaŋan and Yäŋunbi. There are representatives from several clan-nations living at Barrkira: Golumala (land owners), Gupapuyŋu, Rirratjiŋu, Wangurri and Gumatj.

Barrkira is a coastal community where fish, stingray, turtle and shellfish are a major part of the people’s diet.
