Location: King George Sound; north to Stirling Range, Tenterden, Lake Muir, Cowerup, and Shannon River. On coast from West Cliff Point to Boat Harbour; at Pallinup (Salt) River; at Mount Barker, Nornalup, Wilson Inlet, and Porongurup Range. ['Minang] = south and by extension 'southerners.' Nind's identification of Meananger as Meam anger or 'red root eaters' not confirmed, although it is a possible one. Mathew (1899, 18:23) confuses this tribe with the Miming of Eyre Sand Patch. Clark (1842) calls a western horde (?) the Murrayman and indicates a northern one as the 'Munite' or Cockatoo group. The last-named are probably the ones seen by Darwin.
