The mostly Indigenous community has a population of approximately 500 people, but this number grows during the wet season and drops during the dry, when people travel to visit family and country. The traditional language of the island is Mawng, with people speaking other languages including Kunbarlang, Kunwinjku, Djambarrpuyngu, Galpu and English. English is typically people’s second or third language.
