According to Norman Tindale, the Airiman's traditional lands encompassed 800 square miles (2,100 km2). [1] Baldwin Spencer encountered this tribe at the headwaters of the Fitzmaurice River. [2] They were later described by D. S. Davidson who, Tindale claims, incorrectly took them to be Ngarinman. [3] [1]
