History of contactedit
The Injinoo are of mixed descent, constituted by peoples who, displaced by settler expansionism, were driven to this area where they intermarried with the Injinoo, and developed a collective Injinoo identity. In the early decades of the 20th century, several aboriginal communities settled on Injinoo land; these are now grouped as the Red Island and Seven Rivers tribes and the MacDonald River people. The Red Island east coasters comprise descendants of the Gudang and Yadhaigana and a sprinkling of Wuthathi.[1] Together with the Seven Rivers remnant they have established a community on Small River (Injinoo-Cowal Creek).[2] The MacDonald River people are Gumathi.[1] They form a DOGIT or Deed of Grant in Trust community.
