It. THE YOWERAWARRIKA NATION. 
The Yowerawarrika tribe adjoin the Dieyerie Ahminnie, Wonk- 
aoora and Wonkamudla on the east, and reach northerly and eas- 
terly into Queensland. Their territory includes Coongie, Clifton 
Hills, Pandy Pandy and Cordilla Downs. Adjoining the Yowera- 
arrika on the south are the Yanderawantha, who reach from 
Patchawarra creek southerly across the Cooper and down the 
Strzelecki creek till they meet the northern limit of the Pilladapa 
about Lake Callabonna. On the west they are bounded by the 
Dieyerie, and on the east they extend within the Queensland and 
New South Wales frontier. Innamincka, Tinga Tingana, Kano- 
winna, Oontoo and other stations, are situated within the territory 
of this tribe. 
The social organization of the Yowerawarrika and Yanderawan- 
tha consists of two intermarrying phratries called Koolpirro and 
Thinnawa; a Koolpirro man marries a Thinnawa woman, and, vice 
versa, the sons and daughters of the marriage taking the name of 
the group to which the mother belongs. Arranged in tabular form 
these rules of marriage and descent appear as follows: 
TABLE No. 2.
