Radio Umbakumba 106.3fm

Remote NT community radio station situated on Groote Eylandt. The Indigenous people who occupy the Groote Archipelago today are an amalgamation of two cultures, the Warnindilyakwa, who have occupied Groote Eylandt for around eight thousand years, and the Nunggubuyu, from the mainland. The latter, at the invitation of the Warnindilyakwa, began their migration to Groote in the second half of the eighteenth century. The Warnindilyakwa and the Nunggubuyu now constitute a family-based collective culture bound by Ceremonial participation.

The Anindilyakwa language

The Anindilyakwa language is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Warnindilyakwa people on Groote Eylandt and Bickerton Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory of Australia. A 2001 Australian government study identified more than 1000 speakers of the language, although there are believed to be as many as 3000.
