The Pangerang or Bangerang are the indigenous Australians who traditionally occupied much of what is now north-eastern Victoria stretching along the Murray River to Echuca and into the areas of the southern Riverina in New South Wales. Their land includes the Wangaratta, Yarrawonga and Shepparton areas through which the Kialla (Goulburn) and Torryong (Ovens) Rivers flow. The approximate boundaries are south to Mansfield, west to Echuca, east to Chiltern and north to near Narrandera in New South Wales.
The Bangerang collective of tribes, or nation, also known as the Yorta Yorta, consists of 10 tribes, Wongatpan, Towroonban, Angootheriban, Pikkolatpan, Ngarrimowro, Boongatpan, Toolinyagan, Kailtheban, Moitheriban and Wollithiga. The Pangerang spoke a Gunai language. Many of the Pangerang were killed in the Gippsland massacres.
