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.

I know there are far more family member than mentioned up above. For I am a myboojamgunji family member who has been recognised throughout the federal government and by DNA in 2012 but still we keep being left out of every thing including our culture and language and land rights and obligations and family members who we have never met of know about. I proud our familys are getting bigger so I can't see why we are being left out of having a good future just as much. I know about the oil fracking and the diamond fracking and I have been researching the circulation of monetary royalties since 1990s . We need assistance not want many of us are still battling since back in the colonisation days. I know of our history and and I know there are 100s of our relatives are in huge shipping containers in the museum's collection of archive's calling to go home and be buried with family on country and home for " why do we get buried in the first place?" So our souls can rest and to rejoin family in peace I believe.kindest regards Mr Ross Anderson.
