The Northern Peninsula Area is composed of five communities: Injinoo, Umagico, Bamaga, New Mapoon and Seisia.
The peoples of the Angkamuthi, Atambaya, and Yadhaykanu clans settled the Injinoo community. New Mapoon was settled by the clans of Tjungundji and related groups including the Mpakwithi, who came from the area around Port Musgrave.
Bamaga and Seisia were settled by a small number of families from Saibai island, south of the Fly River Delta in Papua New Guinea whilst Umagico was developed by a number of different groups, chief among them the Bakanambia and Jeteneru people from Princess Charlotte Bay and the Wuthathi people from Lockhart River.
