An Aboriginal word describing not only a white person, but a white person who is interested in Aboriginal culture. It originates from the Mayi-Kutuna language of the Leichhardt River area of north Queensland where it meant ‘a person’. It has now been adopted nationally by Australian Aboriginals. In Aboriginal folklore, the migloo was the great white hunting whale of the ocean, hence the term being used to describe white people.
