AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Aboriginal people of rural east Kimberley are still adjusting to the psychological impact of generations of white peoples' domination over them, and the more recent impacts of removal from their land, loss of vocation in the pastoral industry, and alcohol. They also have new concerns, to overcome social problems which have emerged since they left the stations. At the same time, they have strong ideas about solutions to at least some of the problems - movement back to their lands and more access to the land, bicultural education for the young, control over development in their vicinity, and sharing in the proceeds of development'.

    This paper presents a selection of stories and commentaries by Aboriginal people of the Turkey Creek area, collected for a community social impact study.

    The accounts extend from the early impact history of the area, about a century ago, through the pastoral working era, leaving cattle stations in the 1970s and building up new communities, to Aboriginal aspirations in the present. These present Aboriginal points of view; further historical information is presented in historical notes by Clement.
