| This entire website presents an overview of Ka’bi
Clan Aboriginal histories compiled with the sole aim of protecting their long recognised
traditional name, cultural and spiritual lifestyle associations within the Mary River
Valley, Gympie and Cooloola regions of S. E. Queensland Australia and to present windows
into 150-year-old clan documentations by Australian, Queensland and regional researchers
interested in their ancient customs and beliefs. The basis of these long and proud histories (supported by other academic and local anthropologies) was compiled from original local pioneering sources over 20 years by Brett J. Green – a local cultural researcher, historian and author interested in the ancestral land heritages of the Kgaiya, Kgi’kgami, Kgu’li, Kgu’thari and Kgut’dhirri clans of the Mary River Valley and associated clans in the Gympie-Cooloola-Noosa River regions. In doing so, he has protected their rights against false documentations, introduced name titles, and fraudulent land rights by modern-day land “claimants” asserting “rights” without evidences beyond reasonable doubt. This website therefore was deemed necessary to aid his past research and to maintain those original people’s rights and associated land ancestries. The extracted records (edited versions presented on this website) were supplemented with the aid of 32 recorded members of the now extinct Ka’bi Kgai’ya Clans and their regionally related clans who once roamed the Upper Mary River Valley (Kenilworth-Obi Obi Region), Central Mary River Region (Imbil-Gympie-Widgee), the Lower Mary Valley (Theebine-Miva-Bauple) together with coastal and hinterland Ka’bi clans of the Cooloola Coast, Fraser’s Island, and south to Noosa in South East Queensland. We trust you will find this website enjoyable and very informative. Dhim’beelung, Ngara! (We bid you welcome as a friend!). |
