1930 C. W. M. Hart in Oceania 1 ii. 171 When in contact with other tribes, however, as in Darwin, he thinks of himself as Tiwi, a member of a group which despite the divisions inside it, is nevertheless a group distinct from other tribes, and this seems quite an adequate reason for us to adopt Tiwi as the tribal name.

1930 C. W. M. Hart in Oceania 1 ii. 176 The Tiwi have a system of matrilineal totemic clans.

1942 A. Capell in Oceania 13 i. 24 The infix which serves to indicate the incorporated noun in Tiwi often bears no formal relation to the independent noun.

1956 National Geographic Mag. Mar. 430/1 Cooking is a simple matter for the Tiwi.

1988 Signature (Melbourne) Apr.–May 43/1 Success in European-style enterprise—for which the Tiwi people are famed these days—hasn't had time to spoil them just yet... Last dry season..the Tiwis found themselves hosting about 100 visitors per day.
