The Barkandji people are an Indigenous Australian group primarily located in the region around the {Darling River} in {New South Wales}. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional stories, art, and connection to the land. The Barkandji language is part of the {Pama-Nyungan} language family, and efforts are ongoing to revive and maintain it. Historically, the Barkandji people relied on the river for sustenance, engaging in fishing and gathering. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights and land management, working to preserve their culture and promote awareness of their history and contributions to Australian society.
