The three tribes are the Worrora, Wunumbul and Ngarinyin. The three tribes represent the Wandjina. who made them what they are today. They're from the North Kimberley region of Western Australia. The area that makes up the three tribes starts from Oobagooma which is 150km north of the coast of Derby, east across towards inland to Iminji and all the way up to Kalumburru. The tribes have travelled, moved and lived together. They share the similar stories, culture and language with different dialects. They still follow the law, culture and language of the land today carrying on strong and sharing it. The painting of the Ungud snake is always connected with the Wandjina, because he helped in the creation of the earth by slithering here and there making all the rivers and creating the land while the earth was like a jelly. Today they just stay in a large waterhole and if anyone goes there they will get up and kill them.
