1 Alcohol 1989 single work oral history
— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 121-123) 'Though drinking rights were associated with the lifting of restrictions on citizenship rights in 1971, a few years before the people left the stations, the full effect was felt when people ceased to be insulated by station life, no longer had a full-time occupation, and had regular money from pensions and benefits'.
1 Young People, Education and Work 1989 single work oral history
— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 115-120) 'The older people feel that the young people lack a work ethic, and tend to blame some of this on the young people. They also lament the lack of jobs available for young aboriginal people, while they see so many jobs within their communities performed by non-Aborigines. They are concerned about the transmission of culture and language, and use their community school to promote these'.
1 Developing Warmun Community 1989 single work oral history
— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 86-94) 'Uncertainty about the future turned to pride as people faced the challenges of securing rights to remain at Turkey Creek, and building up the community with minimal resources. This was the first time many of the older people had had cash income of their own'.
1 Aboriginal Labour 1989 single work oral history
— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 33-47) 'Aboriginal labour became indispensable to the cattle industry, and made an important contribution to government activities and service industries in the region. Though paid only in kind, Aboriginal people held jobs which took advantage of their unique skills and knowledge of the country. Kija and Miriwoong people today argue that their role in the region's economic development should be acknowledged, as white people could not have managed without them'.
1 Settling Down 1989 single work oral history
— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 21-29) 'The stories show that some young people were brought in after massacres for work in the new white settlements. Later a few children were brought up in white peoples' households, a practice which continued until perhaps the 1950s'.
1 Reprisals 1989 single work oral history
— Appears in: Impact Stories of the East Kimberley 1989; (p. 12-20) 'Many of the stories, including Bob Nyalcas' account of the massacres above, centre on the cleverness of someone who escaped'.
