Ngameni

According to Norman Tindale's estimation, the Ngameni held {{convert|6,000|mi2|km2}} of tribal territory, along the southern edge of Goyder Lagoon, and on the Warburton River, and Lakes Howitt and Berlino. The northern reach extended to Pandipandi and, over the border into what is now southwest Queensland, the area south of Birdsville and Miranda.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=215}}

Both circumcision and subincision were integral parts of Ngameni rites of

initiation.{{sfn|Tindale|1974|p=215}}
