Arweet/Ngarweet is an important tribal position in the Boonwurrung and Wathaurong peoples of the Indigenous Australian Kulin alliance who live from Western Port, Port Phillip, Geelong to Ballarat.[1][2] An Arweet is a leader or headman and holds a similar tribal standing as a ngurungaeta of the Wurundjeri people.
Notable Arweet include:
- Derrimut (1810c - 1864), arweet of the Yalukit-willam clan of the Boonwurrung people[3][4]
- Ningerranarro (died 1847) also known as Old Benbow of the Boonwurrung[1]
- Noonallaboon (1842–1844), Burrumbeet balug of the Wathaurong[2]
- Balybalip also called Bullurp Bullurp, Bil-le-bil-lup, and King Billy of Ballarat (c.1823-1881), Burrumbeet balug
