Ngaiawang

The Ngaiawang were an indigenous Australian people of South Australia. They are now considered extinct.

Ngaiawang belonged to the Lower Murray language branch of the Pama–Nyungan family.

The Ngaiawang lived in an area of some 2,400 sq. miles ranging along the Murray River from Herman Landing to Penn Reach. The western boundary was formed by the scarp of the Mount Lofty Ranges. To the south, the tribal territory ended at Ngautngaut (Devon Downs Rock-shelter), the first area to be subject to archaeological excavation (by Norman Tindale and Hale and was the first formal archaeological excavation undertaken in Australia.

The Ngaiawang consisted of some 10 hordes, among which were the Molo people. They did not practice circumcision and were derided for this by the Kaurna, whose derogative exonym for them, Paruru, meant 'uncircumcized' or 'animal'.

The first recorded encounter of the Ngaiawang with Europeans occurred when the explorer Edward John Eyre came across them at Lake Bonney.
