Wangai
Wongatha is the name of a language group of the Aboriginal people of the North-Eastern Goldfields; it derives from a word meaning "speaker". The Wongatha people made use of the natural resources within their tribal boundary which borders the biogeographic regions of Coolgardie, South-East Wiluna and the Western half of the Great Victoria Desert.
Wongatha people played an important role in the discovery of gold and supporting early prospectors with information about locally available gnamma holes. They also assisted with early so-called Afghan camel-drivers, instrumental in providing outback gold mining communities with provisions. As with Jack Akbar and his wife Lallie, there were a number of Muslim-Aboriginal marriages that resulted from this work〔Rajkowski, P. (1987) "In the Tracks of the Camelmen", (Sydney: Angus and Robertson)〕〔Rajkowski, P. (1995) "Linden Girl: A Story of Outlawed Lives" (Nedlands, WA: UWAP)〕
Many former sheep stations have passed into Wongatha ownership, and traditional art has grown to become a major income to Wongatha communities.
It is estimated that there are about 200-300 first-language Wongatha speaking people.
Today their Native Title land rights interests are represented by the Goldfields Aboriginal Land and Sea Council Corporation. Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL), 1997 give the Wangai language the statistical code 8503.

It is estimated that there are about 200-300 first-language Wangai speaking people (from the Pintini people) along the northern edge of the Nullarbor Plain around Hughes.〔(Ethnologue 14 report for Australia )〕 (See Pintiini language.)
The Wangai Wongatha-Wonganarra Aboriginal Corporation (WWAC) has been working in association between Curtin University, Aboriginal people of Laverton and the transient European community of about 1,600 people largely working in the mining industry.
==In Literature==
The novel ''The Jimberi Track'',〔Brown, Max, ''The Jimberi Track'', Australasian Book Society, Sydney, 1966〕 by Max Brown tells the story of the trials and tribulations of a group of Wangai tribespeople as they attempt to deal with the encroachment of white settlement, particularly in the form of mining communities, on their lands.
