Reply to comment by delta4956 in Native title granted to South Australian Wirangu people recognises it 'always will be Aboriginal land' by DaRedGuy

Your use of the word ‘clan’ is interesting. I grew up with loads of Noongar fellas and never heard anyone call the Noongar nation a clan.

I asked for you:
"white friendly version of a kaurna'war word, but "clan" is local fellas other kaurna mob or nearby peoples like ngarrindjeri mob but that's more honorary. Usually call em mob one of us but not of us fellas."

Few messages later, he said it's also PC term as they werent tribes or sovereign nations so clan is what is official. Paraphrasing this one to clean it up though

Right yeah I wouldn’t think clan is particularly PC either but cool. I guess different mobs look at it different.
