Ngambri
Ngambri or Kamberri is the name of the ancestral group and their descendants after whom the capital of Australia, Canberra, is named. Since the Native Title Act was passed in 1994, the mainly Yass- and Boorowa-based Ngunnawal(also spelled Ngunawal, which is the name of a language not a people) have been asserting their claims to be the 'rightful traditional custodians' of the area now incorporating the Australian Capital Territory and surrounds, mainly through their kinship connections to Ngambri descendants, many of whom also identify as Ngunnawal through non-Ngambri kinship lines.
