Answer
The settlement of Injinoo was established on Cape York by a community led by a Wuthathi man, Allelic Whitesand.
Although self-sufficient, through fishing and gardening, the Community made requests to the Anglican church to establish a mission and school. Government officials allowed the community to function through an elected Council.
After the Second World War, which saw a considerable military presence in the area, many Torres Strait Islanders began moving into Injinoo. Settlements were subsequently built at Bamaga, New Mapoon and Umagico to relocate evicted people from this and other areas of the Cape. In 1948 a reserve was created, with control of the area having been taken over by the Queensland Department of Native Affairs.

Injinoo was the first settlement in Cape York Peninsula. Injinoo consisted of five warring groups that were brought together in peace by Canon Francis Bowie, an Anglican Missionary who taught religion and had class where the children were taught writing in the sand. Canon Bowie married men and women from warring tribes and helped settle disputes amongst the tribes. Canon Bowie stayed at Injinoo and is buried underneath St. Michael and All Angel Anglican Church. Once brought together, these tribes had no common language and lived in humpies down at the Lookout at the mouth of Cowal Creek. In about 1956 a whirlwind destroyed many houses in Injinoo. It was then decided to move inland to where Injinoo is now, because it was considered safer. Injinoo's majority population is Aboriginal and most of the community still hold strongly to Anglican beliefs, as well as their own traditional culture. Injinoo people still hunt and fish. They enjoy boating and camping and are excellent at dancing and feasting, as well as being passionate about their football.

Injinoo refers to Australian Aborigine people in Cape York Peninsula. There are five communities which lie on the traditional country of the Injinoo peoples in the NPA of Cape York Peninsula: Bamaga, Seisia, Injinoo, Umagico and New Mapoon. The traditional lands of the Injinoo Community extend from the Skardon River on the West Coast, and Captain Billy's Landing on the East Coast up to Pajinka at the top of Cape York. The Injinoo people comprise five major tribal groupings: Anggamuthi (Seven Rivers-western), Atambaya (McDonell), Wuthathi (Whites and-south eastern), Yadhaykenu (Cairn Cross - eastern) and Gudang (Red Island, Somerset-northern) peoples.

Around the turn of the century however, the remains of the semi-nomadic family tribes, occupying the last two hundred kilometres of Cape York Peninsula, sharing a common language but with different dialects, came together of their own volition and settled at the mouth of Cowal Creek (Small River - Injinoo). The coming together of the survivors of the impact of non-aboriginal settlement saw the establishment by themselves of a community that brought together five major groupings: Angkamuthi (Seven Rivers - western), Atambaya (MacDonell - central) Wuthathi (Whitesand - south-eastern), Yadhaykenu (Cairn Cross - eastern) and Gudang (Red Island, Somerset, tip. - northern).

Further, in recognition of the people's responsibility for the management and care of their traditional lands and to minimize the impact of tourism and maximise the opportunities and experience of visitors, the Injinoo Community has established the Injinoo Apudhama Association representing the traditional land owning groups within Injinoo. The responsibilities of this group include land management and land care of virtually all of the last two hundred kilometres of Cape York Peninsula. This involves responsibility for the ranger service, for the development of camp facilities and the provision of information, waste management, erosion control, the protection of sites, the improvement of access and the development of walkways, fire management and feral animal control as well as the protection of endangered flora and fauna.

Injinoo has an estimated population of 440 (as of June 2001), with about 98% of the total population being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin and is located on the river mouth of Cowal Creek. There is a service station, a health clinic, healing centre, cement works and Injinoo operate the Jardine Ferry which provides access to Pajinka at the tip of Cape York. Camping is available and visitors can contact the Council Office to arrange accommodation.
