The native title claim group is the Waanyi
People.
A person is a Waanyi person if and only if:
1. the other Waanyi people recognise that he or she
is descended (which may include by adoption) from a person who they
recognise as having been Waanyi; and
2. the person identifies himself or herself as a
Waanyi person.
It is accepted that adoption may take place and that
where adoption has occurred it confers upon the adoptee the right
to identify as being a Waanyi person.

descended:
