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'.
