The country the Yuin ancestors occupied, used, and enjoyed reached across from [[Cape Howe]] to the [[ShoalhavenClyde River]river] and inland to the [[Great Dividing Range]]. Their descendants claim rights to be recognised as the [[traditional owner]]s of the land and water from [[Merimbula]] to the southern head of the sea entrance of the Shoalhaven Riverr. The Yuin people consisted of 12 clans at the time of European arrival in the area.<ref>Interview with Graham Moore (Yuin Elder)</ref>
 
The Yuin groups include:

Contemporary sources report that the Brinja-Yuin people's traditional lands extended along the "Lagoon Coast", south of the [[Moruya River]] to [[Kianga, New South Wales|South Kianga]],<ref name=warncoll/> or further south to the [[Wagonga Inlet]] at [[Narooma, New South Wales|Narooma]].<ref name=tuross>{{cite web | title=Tuross Head History | website=Welcome to Tuross Head | url=http://www.turosshead.org/Pages/AboriginalHistory.htm | access-date=19 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=About us | website=Minga Aboriginal Experiences | date=11 October 2018 | url=https://mingaaboriginalculturalservices.com.au/about-us/ | access-date=19 August 2021}}</ref> The Bugelli-manji people lived around [[Moruya, New South Wales|Moruya]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Aboriginal Moruya | website=Moruya and District Historical Society | url=https://mdhsociety.com/aboriginal-moruya/ | access-date=19 August 2021}}</ref><ref >{{cite web | title=The History of Moruya: The Yuin People | website=Moruya Community | url=https://moruya.storylines.com.au/2015/08/05/goals-goal-setting-112/ | access-date=19 August 2021}}</ref>
 
During the push in the late 1970s and early 1980s to protect [[Mumbulla Mountain]], Wallaga Lake people led by [[Guboo Ted Thomas]] described the Yuin tribe as "shar[ing] the one [[walkabout]] from [[Mallacoota, Victoria|Mallacoota]] in the south to the [[ShoalhavenClyde Riverriverr]] in the north".{{sfn|Thomas|Stacey|1980}}
 
In 2016, 12 applicants representing South Coast Aboriginals lodged a [[Native title in Australia|native title]] claim in the Federal Court for Yuin country in New South Wales. The claim is made by 52 family groups and was approved by more than 500 Aboriginal people. The claim extends into the ocean and includes traditional fishing rights.{{sfn|Coote|2018}} In 2018, the registration was accepted. This is still in court and the land claim over the Shoalhaven belongs to the jerrinja people{{sfn|NNTT}}
