The Pangerang: Indigenous Australians of north-eastern Victoria and southern Riverina.
The Pangerang, also spelt Bangerang and Bangarang, are the Indigenous Australians who traditionally occupied much of what is now north-eastern Victoria stretching along the Murray River to Echuca and into the areas of the southern Riverina in New South Wales. They may not have been an independent tribal reality, as Norman Tindale thought, but one of the Yorta Yorta tribes. In fact, it appears that the term Pangerang was a Ngurrai-illam word to describe the Yorta Yorta people.

Lore & Background
Pangerang lands were estimated by Norman Tindale to have covered some 2,600 mi², running through the lower Goulburn River valley and extending westwards to the Murray River. It covered areas east and west of Shepparton, taking in Kyabram. The southern reaches extend as far as Toolamba and Violet Town. Some Pangerang were among the estimated 26 indigenous people killed by troopers at Moira Swamp/Lake Barmah on the 15 December 1843.
Reader's Guide
According to Norman Tindale, the Bangerang collective of tribes, or nation, also known as the Yorta Yorta, consists of eight hordes, though others have been included in the list. Known hordes include Moiraduban, Waningotbun (at Kotupna), Maragan (perhaps Maraban), and Owanguttha. Two Pangerang clans are the fish-loving Wongatpan and the opossum-hunting Towroonban.
