Lardil
Although they prefer to be known as Kunhanaamendaa (people of Kunhanhaa/ Mornington Island) the Lardil (alternatively Lardi:i (typographical error), Laierdila, Ladil, Kunana (n.n. for Mornington Island), Kuna'na, Gunana, Mornington Island tribe. Kare-wa (dialect name: Roth) people are the traditional custodians of the largest of the Wellesley Islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places them on Mornington Island Island and the shore of Appel Channel on Denham Island opposite today's Gununa settlement and suggests that the rest of Denham Island was Janggal territory.
After several nearby groups, including Bentinck Island's Gayardilt people, were relocated to the island's mission settlement, Mornington Island's population is no longer exclusively Lardil.
