context_page_description: The Wurundjeri are an Aboriginal Australian nation of the Woiwurrung language group, in the Kulin alliance. They occupied the Birrarung Valley before British colonisation of the area, around the present location of Melbourne.
  The "Wurundjeri" are the people who occupy one tribal territory, while "Woiwurrung" is the language group shared by the other tribal territory groups and clans within the Woiwurrung territory. The term Wurundjeri is often used to describe the Woiwurrung people as a whole, although it was only one of a number of Woiwurrung peoples.
  The Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council was established in 1985 by some descendants of the Wurundjeri people.
