Koknar
According to Norman Tindale's reckoning, the Koknar (a.k.a. Kwantari, Kuantari, Kundara, Gundara, Goondarra, Wangara, Wanggara, Kokowanggara, Kokawangar, Kokatabul, Kokodaue, Koko-daua, Oikand and Uw Oykangand) occupied around 6200 square kilometres of country around the Alice River and the Crosbie River, and further west around the Mitchell River in the Gulf Country on the southwestern part of the Cape York Peninsula. Tindale has their territory extending from Galbraith Station and the northern bank of the Staaten River as far inland as Old Koolatah, and north to Inkerman and the middle Nassau River. On the AIATSIS map, their neighbours to the north were the Koko-Bera, with the Kunjen to the east and the Kurtjar on the southern side.
Their language (Uw Oykangand: language of the people from the lagoons) and a closely related dialect (Uw Olkola) were part of the Kunjen branch of the Pama-Nyungan language family.
