The Kuku Nyungkal people (or Annan River Tribe〔) are a group of Aboriginal Australians who are the original custodians of the coastal mountain slopes, wet tropical forests, waters, and waterfalls of the Upper Annan River, south of Cooktown, Queensland All Kuku Nyungkal people share in common social descent from ancestors who back to time immemorial have transmitted, from generation to generation, their Kuku Nyungkal dialect, knowledge, names (for people, places, and things), traditions, heritage, plus lore〔(Australian Indigenous Law Reporter (1996) Aboriginal Land Claim to Available Crown Land near Helenvale: Wunbuwarra - Banana Creek ) Accessed 14 March 2009〕 In 1995 Queensland's Aboriginal Land Tribunal, relying on Kuku Nyungkal genealogical material submitted to them, estimated the total population of Kuku Nyungkal people to be "at least 900" (not including those people who had married into Kuku Nyungkal families)〔 ==Country== Norman Tindale's (1974) ''Catalogue of Australian Aboriginal tribes'' identifies ''Kokonyungal'' country as covering from "Annan River; south to Rossville; west to Annan-Normanby Divide"〔(Tindale, Norman (1974) "Kokobujundji (QLD)" in his Catalogue of Australian Aboriginal Tribes. South Australian Museum ) Accessed 13 March 2009〕 Kuku Nyungkal people, in their own country based Strategic Plan, describe the extent of their country as follows:〔( Bana Yarraliji Bubu Incorporated (2008) ''Strategic Plan for Kuku Nyungkal Country''.
