question
Is the Diereyie divided into
subtribes.
From their own statement and
from my own observation among six
years living amongst them in their wild
state during which time I devoted
all my spare time in acquiring their
toungue and patiently awaiting my
time to be initiated into their
secret ceremonies. Together with
the opportunity of continually visiting
the neighbouring tribes on the
eastern coast of Lake Eyre, the
Everard River, the lower part
of the Diamantina + Herbert Rivers
In all the tribes in the above
localties ("arrminie tribe"
"Ongkongooroo tribe" Wongurrap-
una tribe" Urrapuna Tribe"
also the Yandrawontha tribe
cooyanie tribe Yarrawaurka
