Kabi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kabi (or Kabi Kabi) nation are an Aboriginal Murri people of Australia, and corresponding language group of the South Eastern Queensland coast, stretching from Brisbane up to Gladstone. In their language, "Kabi" means "No".

The smaller clan groups have recently separated into sub-groups, and currently do not wish to identify as Kabi. Therefore the term Kabi now refers to a small group among the larger sub-groups. Kabi were previously designated the main anthropological group identified in the SEQ region.

Buroinjin was a game played by the Kabi. Spectators called out 'Ei, ei' to applaud. Buroinjin was the name of the ball made from kangaroo skin.

The ancestral god of the Kabi is Dhakan (the rainbow) which was a part-fish ancestral spirit residing in deep water holes.

Steve Renouf, rugby player with the Brisbane Broncos, is descended from the Kabi people through his father.

Joel Wenitong of hip-hop band Deadly Knowledge is from the Kabi.

Ray Minniecon from the Kabi is the Director of Crossroads Aboriginal Ministries in Sydney Anglican Diocese of Redfern. He has helped to found Kinchela Boys' Home Aboriginal Corporation and social programmes for Aborigines.

Artie Beetson, Queensland Rugby League legend and former Australian captain, is a Kabi descendant.
