Ngewin

The Ngewin were an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.

Country

In Norman Tindale's estimation the Ngewin's lands extended over roughly 1,700 square miles (4,400 km2), around the upper Limmen Bight River, and running southeast as far as Old Bauhinia Downs.[1] Their neighbours were the Wadere to the north and, running clockwise, with the Balamumu, and Binbinga on their western flank.[2]
