LEST WE FORGET WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIALS ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER WAR MEMORIAL, KINGS PARK Cultural Warning: This document lists the names of people who have died. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial is located off Forrest Drive to the south- southwest of the WA State War Memorial and its inscription reads: To the memory of the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians who gave their lives while Serving with Australian armed forces and services. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have represented their country in all wars and actions involving Australian armed forces and services since the Boer War. The Roll of Honour shown here has been complied from three sources, details of which are given in the references provided at the end of this document. None of these sources claim to be comprehensive, nor do they provide any criteria by which the names have been included. Personal details for each of the Service Men or Women shown in this Roll are not comprehensive, and this personal information is intended to be used in conjunction with the personal details available on the national websites including the National Archives of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Nominal Rolls (WWII and Post WWII Conflicts). During WWI, many of the Soldiers shown with short durations of Service were discharged for being “not substantially of European origin or descent:”. These words came from Section 138 of the Defence Act 1909 that exempted persons in this category from compulsory military service, but was used in a perverse manner (along with other prohibitions) to prevent such persons providing voluntary military service. This policy persisted into the early days of WWII, but was eventually reversed. However, the numbers who actually served despite this policy indicate that it was inconsistently applied. During WWII, serving Indigenous members in Western Australia began to be discharged from 1943 onwards as their contribution to the war effort was more vital in the pastoral and agricultural sectors than was the need for them to remain in uniform. The overall contribution of Indigenous people to the war efforts in both World Wars was substantial and this story is told in the book The Black Diggers that is referenced at the end of this document.

The Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia, Vol.4 No.1, 2013. Reading Coolibah’s Story: As told by Coolibah to John Boulton John Boulton Copyright © John Boulton 2013. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: This paper describes selected key events in the life of Coolibah, a retired Gurindji stockman, through his non-Aboriginal friend John Boulton. Coolibah made John “a close friend of the same age”, referred to specifically as tjimerra in Gooniyandi language (the language that he has become most familiar with since being removed from his family as a small child). This classifactory kin relationship makes it possible for John Boulton to tell Coolibah’s story. This article is situated within the tradition of oral histories of the lives of Aboriginal people at the colonial frontier. It is also within a tradition of friendships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, including European, people, often anthropologists and other professionals with a deep commitment to that world. In this article, Boulton uses the events of Coolibah’s life and that of his family and kin as a departure point to discuss the impact of history on the health of the people. Coolibah’s life is viewed through the lens of structural violence whereby the causal factors for the gap in health outcomes have been laid down. This article provides the theoretical framework to understand the extent of psychic, emotional and physical harm perpetrated on generations of Aboriginal people from the violent collision of the two worlds on the Australian frontier.

Yiyili Aboriginal Community School (YACS) Annual Report 2019
Yiyili Aboriginal Community School (YACS) Annual Report 2019 Compiled March 2020 Audience: - Parent s and carers - Local community - Visitors and involved agencies (government and non-government) - Funding bodies (State and Federal) - Department of Education Services History: Influenced by the Nookanbah and Strelley experience, the school’s genesis was when a group of mainly Gooniyandi people shifted from the station camp at Louisa Downs HOesmtead to set up a new camp approximately 7 kilometres to the east. Establishing their own school seemed a better alternative to sending their children to the hostel at Halls Creek where parents felt they would lost control of the children. Since that time the school has expended considerably to include six outstation communities who bus their students into Yiyili. Physical Setting: Yiyili Community is an excision on Louisa Downs Station situated 170kms southeast of Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Louisa Downs is owned and operated by Yiyili Community members. The community is 5ims off the Great Northern Highway and the station is 11kms off the Great Northern Highway. It is easily accessible during the dry season. During wet season a 4WD is often required to negotiate the track into the community. Halls Creek is 120km east of Yiyili and is the only town of the Central Kimberley. There is a small supermarket, a butcher, fuel outlet, post office, two hotels and public swimming pool in the town. It also has a well-resourced hospital and a pharmacy. Kununurra has the closest airport and is approximately 500kms north-east of Yiyili. Broome, however, 570kms west of Yiyili, is the Kimberley’s regional capital and major service point for the school and community.

Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.

Birds of the Kimberley Division, Western Australia
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM SPECIAL PUBLICATION No.ll Birds of the Kimberley Division, Western Australia by G.M. Slorr Perth 1980 World List Abbreviation: Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. ISBN 0724481389 ISSN 0083 873X Cover: A Comb-crested Jacana drawn by Gaye Roberts. Published by the Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth 6000, Western Australia. Phone 328 4411. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction 7 List of Birds .................................... .. 9 Gazetteer ................................. .. 101 Index 105 5 INTRODUCTION Serventy and Whittell's excellent Birds of Western Australia (first published in 1948) excluded the many species found in Western Australia only in the Kimberley Division. The far north of the State thus remained the last terra incognita in Australia. The present paper fills this gap by providing informa tion on the distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, movements and breeding season of Kimberley birds. Coverage is much the same as in my List of Northern Territory birds (1967, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 4), List of Queensland birds (1973, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 5) and Birds of the Northern Territory (1977, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 7). An innovation is data on clutch size. The area covered by this paper is the Kimberley Land Division (Le. that part of Western Australia north of lat. 19°30'S) and the seas and islands of the adjacent continental shelf, including specks of land, such as Ashmore Reef, that are administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. Distribution is often given in climatic as well as geographic terms by referring to the subhumid zone (mean annual rainfall 100-150 cm), semiarid zone (50-100 cm) or arid zone (less than 50 cm).
